No Rest For Wilko

Jonny Wilkinson will have to postpone his hols for a week or two. Clive Woodward has selected both him and Dave Walder for the England squad to take on the Baa-baas on May 28th. JW was due a rest but all his rivals have big games the day before. Stevo also gets a chance after his 7's performances.

Still if DW is fitted then JW may be able to sun himself on the bench!

Walder makes his comeback after his protracted hamstring injury tomorrow when he is due a run out for the A team. Let's hope he comes through that OK.

Here's the squad: Balshaw(Bath) Kyran (Saracens) Cohen(Northampton Saints) Cornwell(Gloucester) Dallaglio, CAPTAIN (London Wasps) Danaher(London Irish) Dawson(Northampton Saints) Duncombe (NEC Harlequins) Flatman (Saracens) Forrester (Gloucester) Greenwood (NEC Harlequins) Gustard (London Irish) Johnston (Saracens) Jones (Orrell) Lewsey(London Wasps) Regan(Bath) Shaw(London Wasps) Sheridan (Bristol Shoguns) Stephenson (Newcastle Falcons) Thompson (Northampton Saints) Tindall Mike (Bath) Vickery (Gloucester) Walder (Newcastle Falcons) Wilkinson (Newcastle Falcons) Woodman (Gloucester) Joe Worsley (London Wasps) Michael Worsley (London Irish)

Not considered: Leicester Tigers/Sale Sharks players – Heineken Cup and Borthwick, Grewcock, Hill, White, Luger, Brown - Injury
