England’s retired World Cup heroes look unlikely to be considered by their former boss Clive Woodward for the Lions tour of New Zealand next summer.

Clive Woodward today unveiled the largest coaching and management team in Lions history, including Eddie O'Sullivan and Dave McHugh.

ENGLAND coach Clive Woodward revealed yesterday that the team’s hotel rooms have been swept for bugs but insisted that the World Cup finalists were not being paranoid in the run-up to Saturday’s decider against Australia.

England will adopt their usual security measures this week as they leave no stone unturned in an unflinching quest for World Cup glory.
