Win with Gillette Fusion and Jonny Wilkinson
As England return to Sydney and the scene of their famous win over Australia in the 2003 World Cup final, coach Martin Johnson has chosen to leave Wilkinson on the bench for the second Test, opting instead for Toby Flood.
This has come as a surprise for many, especially down under, as theyd have thought that the mental edge might have been with the now 31-years-old Wilkinson, who has beaten the Wallabies twice in Australia.
Johnson, who lifted the trophy in 2003, was questioned by Robbie Deans and a few senior Wallaby players for the move, but hes happy with what hes decided on.
"We're very comfortable if Jonny Wilkinson starts a Test match for us obviously, but I think Toby's played very, very well for us and it's part of his experience gathering with playing down here in a big southern hemisphere Test match, and he'll be better for it."
"There's always rationale for playing Jonny Wilkinson, but we like what we've got with Toby and Jonny on the bench," he said.

I would have thought he'd have started against Aus. I think people expect miracles from him and when he's just good, it's not enough. Is Toby Flood that much better?
