Jonny Wilkinson picks his England backline with Farrell getting the nod

Legendary fly-half Jonny Wilkinson has named the England backline that he would like Eddie Jones to name at during their summer tour of Australia.

The men in white had a difficult 2022 Six Nations campaign as they suffered defeats against France, Ireland and Scotland to finish third.

England easily beat Italy 33-0 on the road but struggled for tries in all their other matches to the frustration of supporters.

Below is the backline Wilkinson would pick to get England scoring again.
