Johnny Wilkinson goes into the England changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum. "What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but we've just beaten the All Blacks and Australia in consecutive weeks and let's be honest it's only South Africa. They're sh*t and we can't be bothered".
Johnny looks at them and says "Well, the way I've been playing recently, I reckon I can beat them by myself, you lads go down to the pub."
So Johnny goes out to play South Africa by himself and the rest of the England team go off for a few jars.
After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the telly on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads
"England 7 - South Africa 0 (Wilkinson - 10 minutes - Converted Try)".
He is beating South Africa all by himself!
Anyway, the telly goes off and a few more pints later the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how Johnny got on".
They put the telly back on.
"Result from the Stadium:
England 7 (Wilkinson 10 minutes) - South Africa 7 (Paulse 79 minutes)".
They can't believe it, Johnny has single handedly got a draw against South Africa and maintained England's unbeaten run at home!!
They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands.
He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down." says Johnny.
"Don't be daft, you got a draw against South Africa, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end!" says the rest of the team.
"No, No, I have" says Wilkinson, "I've let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes"
