The brow above Wilson’s left eye is still slightly lower than his right, due to the six stitches he required after playing in the 35-point defeat against the visiting Scots. “ enormous because rugby union is such a global game, and it’s such an inclusive game, and that’s what I’ve found,” Wilson said.
