Sebastian Chabal is back and more news about Jonny Wilkinson, England’s answer to Zinedine Zidane.
Skrela has also benefited from a long-term knee injury to the No 1 choice, Frederic Michalak, and the decision to withdraw Damien Traille yesterday due to hip and knee problems.
By pairing Skrela and Pierre Mignoni at halfback, Laporte has now selected 28 different combinations since he took command after the 2001 World Cup. In between naming his team, Laporte welcomed the return of Jonny Wilkinson to the international stage and likened him to the French footballer Zinedine Zidane. “If Wilko is back to his best, there are few players like him. He’s England’s Zidane and when he returned it was much better,” Laporte said.
