How England humiliated their 2003 Rugby World Cup heroes, with bankruptcy, head injury, and even forgetting by the game

CHRIS FOY – WORLD OF RUGBY: How sad it is to learn that another of the mighty has fallen. Phil Vickery has been declared bankrupt, causing the former England captain and World Cup winner to withdraw from several enterprises. The 'Raging Bull' is expected to owe nearly £100,000 to Vix Ltd, his management company, which has gone into liquidation. Following the announcement that the 2011 Celebrity Masterchef winner's No. 3 restaurants had been ordered to close earlier this year due to the cost-of-living crisis that has wreaked havoc on the hospitality industry, there were also allegations of unpaid tax bills. Vickery, 48, seems to be suffering with his health issues as well as his financial problems. The great prop idol had joined the group litigation against various rugby governing bodies late last year, on behalf of ex-players who were still recovering from the after-effects of repeated head injuries.

ALEX BYWATER, THE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Alun Wyn Jones' 2023 Championship will be his 17th Six Nations appearance. It's such a strange result that it's worth reading twice. The teenagers were seventeen. And at 37 years old, Jones, the world's most capped player, shows no signs of slowing down. Jones told Sportsmail, in a spiky way, 'It's you lot (the media) who thinks I'm going to play forever.' I don't think I am.'

Since the 37-year-old was left out of Wales' squad for their pivotal match against Argentina, Wayne Pivac has denied that the end is nigh for Alun Wyn Jones. During last week's 55-23 loss to New Zealand, the 166-cap second row came off the bench, when parts of Wales' game were 'unacceptable at Test level.' Jones, according to Tendai Mtawarira, should retire and make way for the next generation, and 'a good dancer knows when to step down.'
