Dallaglio calls for ‘courage and intensity’

ENGLAND captain Lawrence Dallaglio called for “courage and intensity” from his players as the world champions finalised plans to storm New Zealand’s Dunedin fortress.

Victory over the All Blacks at Carisbrook on Saturday a feat achieved by only the Lions and Australia since 1905 would complete an unprecedented hat-trick of English wins against New Zealand.

Dallaglio takes charge of a much-changed England team there are just six survivors from last summer's stirring 15-13 success in Wellington.
