Jonny Wilkinson: Just because I was a good player does not mean I'll make a good coach, I need to earn that right

Jonny Wilkinson was one of the finest rugby players to have stepped on to a
field, but he will not make the mistake of believing that automatically
gives him the right to tell others how to play as a coach.




Unlike others before him who assumed their brilliance as a player would make
them excel as a teacher, Wilkinson has started the new phase of his career
with typical humility and intelligence.




He will not try to shoulder-barge his way into a prominent coaching position
following his retirement at Toulon.

He will not look to use his media
profile to gain yardage…
