Jonny Wilkinson has expressed his belief that England have all the attributes required to win the Rugby World Cup.
England finished second in the Six Nations and will start their Rugby World Cup campaign against Fiji at Twickenham on September 18.
"You might not choose to bet against England, but it would take a brave decision to bet against them," Wilkinson told Sky Sports News.
"England have got it all, they got that balance. There's a lot of responsibility in these next coming months to pick up the pace and pick up the intensity because that's what's going to count in the end."
The World Cup hosts will also play against Australia, Wales and Uruguay in Pool A.
