Description
Tying into the CBBC series to be aired in November 2005 and again in February 2006, "Jonny's Hotshots: How To Play Rugby My Way" is a practical, highly illustrated, hands-on instruction manual in which Jonny reveals and explains in detail the skills and expert techniques that have made him one of the world's greatest rugby players. Aimed at teenagers who already know the basics, but equally applicable to adults who want to refine their skills, Jonny will cover topics such as tackling, kicking goals, kicking with both feet, passing, running with the ball, being playmaker and placekicking. Jonny will also offer advice and tips on the broader aspects of the game, including health, positive-thinking, tactics, exercise and diet.

Jonny Wilkinson became England's youngest international for 71 years when he made his debut at 18 in March 1998. By the end of 2003 he had won 52 caps. His 817 points are the highest for England and sixth in the all-time world listings. In the 2003 World Cup he was the top points-scorer, and scored the drop goal that won the tournament. He has won five British Lions caps. He was awarded the MBE in January 2003, and the OBE a year later.
