Jonny Wilkinson, in the Daily Telegraph, speaks out about England's disastrous World Cup campaign.
"Throughout their time in New Zealand England's players courted the wrong sort of headlines, most notably when Mike Tindall led a group of players late night drinking at a club where dwarf throwing formed the centrepiece to the night's entertainment.
Wilkinson, a self confessed obsessive professional, was not part of the group, indeed, he says the last time he went out drinking following an England match was at the end of the previous World Cup.
While unwilling to condemn players for having a well earned drink during a long tour, and conscious that he inhabits in another extreme that is not to be prescribed to everyone, Wilkinson believes the consequences were inevitable."
