Anyone who follows rugby knows that Jonny Wilkinson spends more time on the DL than Ken Griffey, Jr. Its that bad. Actually, if not for the 6 nations tournament currently going on, I might have read the article’s title and been surprised that he was actually healthy enough to play… and then get hurt, but healthy enough to play at one time or another.

This time its at least a little less severe, a strained hamstring, but this is seriously getting rediculous, and despite the fact that when healthy he is one of the best rugby players in the world, it might be time for England to start, well more like keep, playing without him because he cannot be counted on for this year’s world cup. Much like the fact that if the Cincinnati Reds ever want to contend, they need to move away from Griffey and promote guys like Denorfia, or any other guy who might actually be able to be counted on for a full season.
