His presence lifts the English side. They're infinitely more confident when he plays. That's an intangible and hard to measure, but the team believes they have a chance because of his kicking & that's particularly important for the tight five and what they need to accomplish as a unit. During the last two victories, the half backs and Catt at second five have helped Wilkinson a lot. Anyway, no one prepares, trains or practices harder than Wilkinson. He looks ice cool on the pitch, but I read a quote in the paper this morning that he can see his heart beating through his uniform when he steps up for a pressure kick. So, I'd say he's a great player, but more of a warrior these days.
