Cometh the hour
Cometh the Jonny!
Surely no one still believes he's a mere man, Mr Wilkinson was clearly born of the gods.
It may be a little early to claim that we're back but between last Friday and today the Mighty Mighty England has had its sporting dreams re-ignited.
First we beat the fairly mighty aussies in a cricket ODI by 92 runs,
then Jonny, Harry and Mr Vickery stepped up to put a little faith back in English rugby
and finally our cricketers held their nerve (something everyone thought they might've lost a while ago) yesterday to beat NZ and get into the final of the tri-nation series.
Com'on!
Obviously, I shouldn't get too excited and I may be over reacting far too soon but, when one TV pundit asked "Is Jonny Wilkinson's return the greatest comeback since Lazarus decided to give that breathing lark another crack? " I have to treat it not as a rhetorical question but goading, not since that punk Joshua's reincarnation, best EVER!
