Jonny Wilkinson admits that he has no-one else to blame following a poor kicking performance against Argentina.

Jonny Wilkinson has admitted that he has no-one else to blame following one of his worst kicking performances in an England shirt.

The fly-half hero of 2003 missed five consecutive penalties over the course of the match in Dunedin which England eventually won 13-9.

Luckily for the 2007 finalists their opponents also struggled in front of the posts.

"I'm not going to apportion any kind of blame other than that on myself," said Wilkinson.

"I was the one kicking the ball and when I hit them I felt I was hitting them very, very well. That made it hard for me to understand and correct what was going on.

"There were couple out there I would have thought were not great kicks but the rest of them I was pretty happy with."

England next face Georgia on Sunday, 18 September.
