By Jonny Wilkinson England fly-half

Saturday was one of those days when every second lasts a minute and every minute an hour.

I usually pass away the time before a game with some pre-match kicking routines and warm-ups.

But this was different.

With so much to play for, the pressure was unbearable. At one stage, I honestly wondered if I wanted to keep putting myself through it.

But then came the match and the result. And I realised the answer to my question.

The England dressing room at five o'clock on Sunday was one of the greatest places I've ever been.

The sense of relief and sheer pleasure at what we had achieved was everywhere.

Typically of course, Sunday night seemed to pass as quickly as possible.

All there seemed to be time for was catching up with a few of the Irish boys and that was it, the weekend was over and Grand Slam was in the bag.

I want to be involved in every game from here to the World Cup

It's been a strange few days, for sure.

Before you ask, my shoulder is OK, as is my lip. I took a few knocks - as we all did on Sunday - but I'll be back for Newcastle's next Premiership match and I'm also keen to travel with England in the summer.

I know there's been some talk that Clive Woodward may consider resting me against New Zealand and Australia, but he knows how I feel.

I want to be involved in every game from here to the World Cup - fitness permitting - particularly against sides of that stature.

We're so used to hosting Australia at Twickenham it would great to play them in their own back yard.

I haven't been there since the Lions in 2001 and I haven't been to New Zealand since our tour in 1998, so it would great to get back.

In order to be in great shape for the World Cup, both the team and players need to make certain we are all match fit.

And there is no other way of achieving that other than playing.

To have secured back-to-back Hong Kong Sevens titles is a superb achievement

It's no use travelling to the World Cup and finding out that we've developed a number of problems. Everything has to be ironed out pre-October.

And I want to be part of that.

But let's just take stock of what English rugby has achieved.

Not only did we finish the weekend with the Grand Slam but with the Hong Kong Sevens title - again.

I'm a definite believer that you're only as good as your last game, though it can be a pretty harsh way of judging yourself.

But even using that criteria English rugby union is in rude health. To have secured back-to-back Hong Kong Sevens titles is a superb achievement for any country.

All we have to do now is take English rugby to the next level and bring the World Cup trophy home.

Can't be too difficult can it?
