Wilkinson: I'd rather be in young pretender Owen's boots than mine



Jonny Wilkinson admitted last night that he envies Owen Farrell for having ahead of him what the former superstar of English rugby experienced in his career.


The 33-year-old and the 21-year-old pretender will eyeball each other today at Twickenham as pivotal fly-halves for Toulon and Saracens in the Heineken Cup semi-final.




Talisman: Wilkinson has done it all in his career

Wilkinson, despite a World Cup and Grand Slam on his way to becoming the second highest points scorer of all time in international rugby, would rather have the chance to do it all over again.

'I'd love to be in Owen's boots, not mine,' admitted Wilkinson.

'I have enormous pride in what I've done in rugby. But what's so exciting for Owen is that he's got years and years ahead of him and I'm so excited to see just how far he can go and how much he can achieve.

'He's already there in terms of having played a key role for his country for a while, as well as for one of the top clubs in Europe. In that sense he's ahead of me at the same age. I've watched him play already for a number of years and I'm excited for him and also as a rugby fan. 'My time has been and gone. I no longer play in the Test environment. Owen now has the opportunity to do something else and to do something better. It will be fun to watch him over the next 10 years or so. I think there is every chance he and the teams he will play for enjoy big success.
