Because you think that, because I'm English, I think the sun shines out of his arse.
You kind of already answered that above :huh:
Its not complicated.
Everyone knows Wilkinson was a great tackling fly-half and is still pretty good at it.
It was only a matter of time before someone (chances are they'd be English), would come on and state Wilkinson is still the best tackling 10 in the world. Hence - not completely unexpected it'd be Wilkinson they'd cite and that they still believe the sun shines out of Jonny's arse.
Time has moved on. Wilkinson is no longer the doggies danglies.
