Jonny Wilkinson joins England coaching staff ahead of summer tour

Known for his relentless dedication and near-obsessive pursuit of perfection, the 45-year-old Wilkinson set new standards during his career.

His most memorable moment came in 2003 when he scored the drop goal that clinched the World Cup for England.

England's summer tour will kick off in Tokyo on June 22, which will also mark former coach Eddie Jones' first game in his second stint leading Japan.

Steve Borthwick's team will then travel to New Zealand for two tests against the All Blacks: in Dunedin on July 6 and Auckland on July 13.

England won 67 of the 91 games Wilkinson played in with h1im scoring an outstanding total of 1,179 points. He also holds the Rugby World Cup points record with 277.
