Dallaglio planning to banish blues

LAWRENCE DALLAGLIO goes into England’s World Cup showdown against Wales tomorrow (10am Irish time) planning to banish once and for all the memory of the biggest mistake of his international career.

England have beaten Wales in 10 of their last 11 meetings but it is that fateful day at Wembley back in 1999 which still haunts Dallaglio.

It was Dallaglio, England captain at the time, who took the decision to opt to kick for touch to keep the pressure on the Welsh in the last 10 minutes when an easy three-points penalty looked there for the taking.
