Toulon firm on Wilko
ByReuters
Jonny Wilkinson will not be released for a training session of England's elite squad next week, his French club Racing Toulon have confirmed.
The England fly-half "will respect his contract and will be available for the first game of the Top 14 against Bayonne on August 13," Toulon said.
The England training session is due from August 8-14.
Backrow James Haskell and lock Tom Palmer, who play club rugby with Stade Francais, have also been called up by England manager Martin Johnson.
Haskell was involved in a row between club and national teams in March when the RFU refused to release him to play for his club during a break in the Six Nations championship.
