FORMER England rugby union star Jonny Wilkinson has revealed how close he came to switching codes with Wigan.
The World Cup winner is a big lover of rugby league and spoke about almost giving it a crack in a new podcast hosted by Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow.

“It’s been like that for a long time. I always wondered: ‘Could I do it?’ I always wondered if I could adapt. And I had an opportunity.
“I was injured for so long I had a couple of opportunities. They were largely just there thrown out to help me out, to say, ‘Look, after your injuries, do you want to come and do a summer with us?’
