Here's to you Mr Robinson

So its the eve of the World Cup and for the final time we will see one of the greatest athletes and one of the greatest players of his generation on the world stage - and I am definitrely not talking about the England and Tottenham goalkeeper.

I am talking about Jason Robinson. He of the jinky run - the Billy Wizz - the non stop perpetual motion - the scorer of the only try that beat the Aussies in the last World Cup. He has played Rugby League for GB and Wigan and was persuaded by Clive Woody to switch codes - that would have been an interesting chat!!!.

Recognised by all as the only World Class player who would get into other World Sides he might - just might come up with a sensational score tomorrow night. He is probably unsung - definitelty never went to Public school - was allegedly a bit of a bad boy and now has found God and all.

Billy Wizz - good luck may you chase past the Springboks and close down Brian Habana- may you score the winning try - may you be crowned the best Rugby Union player that has ever played - ah shucks for me - you will be the only guy who could win it for England tomorrow night - may your God be with you.
