11:47 am on 26 October 2010

Jonny Wilkinson whose illustrious rugby career has been ravaged by injury, has thrown a scare into the England camp complaining of soreness in his left shoulder after the team's fiorst training camp ahead of their November tests.

The Toulon first five will undergo a scan tonight, giving manager Martin Johnson a potential headache as England prepare to face the All Blacks on the 6th of November.

Charlie Hodgson is on standby to replace Wilkinson, who's one of five England players nursing knocks as the opening match of the autumn international series looms closer.
