Intro:
Jonny Wilkinson, 35, ended his career by helping Toulon to the French title with victory over Castres in Paris. The former England fly-half, 35, kicked all but three of his side's points in an 18-10 victory in the Top 14 final.
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Jonny Wilkinson, RC Toulon fly-half (on winning the French title in the last game of his career):
"It's tough because part of you is so desperate to jump up and down and run around and just shout because it's such a great day. But something is holding me back. It's not deliberate in any way. I am not doing it deliberately, sitting back and thinking, 'take it easy,' I am not. It's just, it's wondering what the hell I am gonna do now, you know. It think it's that. It is just, it's a scary time. It happens to everyone and everyone need to understand that your time runs out and we don't all get the chance to hit out on a good moment."
