Jonny Wilkinson has been linked with a post in Stuart Lancaster's England backroom staff.

Reports in La Provence say Wilkinson, who was part of the 2003 World Cup-winning side, will work as a kicking consultant with England. He is currently working part-time with the Toulon backs, a role he took up when he retired at the end of last season.

Speaking in September, Wilkinson said he had been in contact with the England backroom staff. "I have spoken to the guys a bit, just because they were saying feel free to come along and have a little chat and see what you think and if there's anything you can add," he said. "I have got plenty of time - and I need plenty of time - to understand where I go next.

"I'd love to go down there and see what they're doing because whatever they are doing is very, very good. I may pop down there and spend a little time at Pennyhill on the sidelines and watch the guys doing what they are doing and enjoy that."
