RWC REPLAY: Jonny Wilkinson - Acceptance

Simon Mundie
About this episode

'Resistance is something we do, acceptance is what we are'

With the World Cup in full flow, over the next few weeks I am going to use the opportunity to revisit some of my favorite conversations with World Cup winners and legends. Today's episode is with Jonny Wilkinson, 20 years ago from his World Cup winning drop goal - and below are some of the topics we reference during our conversation.

I have some cracking new interviews lined up too, and I'll be releasing these very soon - along with further details about my book which will be out in just a few short months. Exciting times!
