Dallaglio to end Test career

WASPS have called a press conference for lunchtime today that will end mounting speculation over Lawrence Dallaglio’s future.

Dallaglio has announced his England retirement once already — in August 2004 — and could be set to bow out of the Test arena for a second time.

England head coach Brian Ashton names his 32-man squad for the RBS Six Nations on Wednesday and stated upon his reappointment two weeks ago that Dallaglio would remain under consideration for international duty.
