Andy Howell, writing for Wales Online, reflects on his encounter with Jonny Wilkinson.
"The one thing squeaky clean Jonny Wilkinson never did during his glittering Test career was court controversy ... so it raised a few eyebrows when he named me in a newspaper column!
Nice guy Wilkinson didn’t really have a pop, as such, because that’s not his style, but he did write of his amazement at being at the centre of an exchange between yours truly and Lions coach Sir Clive Woodward during the disastrous 2005 tour of New Zealand.
Woodward had omitted Gavin Henson, Shane Williams, Martyn Williams and Tom Shanklin from his Test starting XV, even though Wales had just won the Grand Slam and those players were bang in form."
