Dallaglio eyes final World Cup
Lawrence Dallaglio has underlined a burning desire to embark on the final World Cup campaign of a glittering career, declaring: "There is no point in holding anything back now".
The revered former England captain has less than six weeks to press an irresistible case for a place among head coach Brian Ashton's 30-man World Cup squad.
Dallaglio said: "There is no point in holding anything back now, and I will be giving absolutely everything, as will every player."
He added: "You cannot underestimate what it means to put on the shirt for your country - it is a very special thing.
"It is very easy to climb a mountain on your own and get to the top and wave, but if you climb a mountain with someone else and hold hands and do it together, then it is a very special feeling.
"It is what part of being a team game is all about - sharing that success with other people. It is the buzz I get out of rugby, that shared success.
"This is an elimination camp at the moment. Everyone is pretty happy and jolly at present, but there are going to be some pretty unhappy people in a couple of weeks' time, and I don't want to be one of them."
