Charlie Hodgson is ready to finally step out of the long shadow of Jonny Wilkinson and take charge of England's backline, according to Robert Kitson in The Guardian.
"Top-level rugby can be harsh and unforgiving, even on a good day. It is harder still for slightly built creative types prone to introspection.
"Imagine driving hundreds of miles to England training knowing the coaches doubt your defence, that you have no chance of starting and that your club will struggle without you.
"Then imagine being steamrollered by a rampant All Black team and brutally informed your Test career is over. Charlie Hodgson can talk you ruefully through it all, and more."
