“We’re having trouble with our self belief. Don’t forget they beat us 36 – 0 in the first match,” they say.

Wilkinson replies: “Well, the way I’m feeling, I reckon I can beat them myself.”

So Jonny goes out to play South Africa on his own and the rest of the team sulk in the bar.

After a few pints, the game is all but forgotten. “It must be time now, let’s see how Jonny did.” They put the TV back on.

“Result: England 7 (Wilkinson 10 minutes) – South Africa 7 (Habana 79 minutes)”.

They rush back to the Stade de France to congratulate Jonny and prepare for extra time. Wilkinson is sat with his head in his hands.

“I’ve let you down,” he says.

“Don’t be daft, you got a draw against South Africa, all by yourself” says Phil Vickery, the captain.

“No, I haven't,” says Wilkinson, “I got sent off after 12 minutes”.
