Dallaglio on bench for Wallabies clash

AXED England star Lawrence Dallaglio responded to his omission from Saturday’s Twickenham rugby showdown with world champions Australia by declaring: ‘‘I have never ever taken anything for granted.’’

The former England skipper, who captained his country 14 times, has been dropped after an ineffective display during the thrilling 31-28 victory over New Zealand that ended with him being substituted.

Neil Back reclaims the open-side flanker's position, so Richard Hill switches to number eight instead of Dallaglio, and Lewis Moody retains his place after a try-scoring display against the All Blacks.
