England's World Cup winning fly-half Jonny Wilkinson has retired from international rugby.
Wilkinson, whose drop-goal secured victory against Australia in the final of the 2003 World Cup, won 91 caps for his country as well as six Test appearances for the British and Irish Lions.
The Rugby Football Union confirmed the 32-year-old had announced his retirement.
Wilkinson retires in second on the all-time Test scoring lists with 1,246 points - 1,179 of those for England - placing him just behind New Zealand's Dan Carter.
His record for his country includes six tries, 162 conversions, 239 penalties and a record 36 drop goals.
