Well, at least when it comes to making statues of Wilkinson it is.
Welsh Wilkinson statue sells out
Makers have been inundated with Jonny Wilkinson Grogg orders
After becoming England's World Cup hero and receiving an MBE from the queen, Jonny Wilkinson has taken another accolade - becoming the fastest-selling Grogg in Wales.
Orders for the Welsh-made Wilkinson statue have reached such a level in the wake of England's World Cup triumph, that the Pontypridd-based Grogg Shop has a queue for orders stretching into January.
Grogg statues - caricatures of legendary rugby players such as Gareth Edwards and JPR Williams - are something of a south Wales cult which are now exported all over the rugby-playing world.
The Grogg Shop in Treforest, just outside Cardiff, made a nine-inch high Wilkinson Grogg following England's Grand Slam success earlier this year.
As a result, they have been inundated with Wilkinson orders from fans across the world following the England fly-half's performances in Australia, overshadowing the usual Christmas sales of Welsh rugby greats.

I see Campo is going to walk up and down Oxford St in a sandwich board saying "The best team won the Rugby World Cup"! 
He said he'd do it, if England won, before the competition, and fair play to him, he's game for it.
