Lawrence Dallaglio Sure Quotations

It is important that you have players on the bench who can add momentum. We did that against Wales and, while no player likes to be picked on the bench, it is your job if you are there to ensure that the coach has competition for places.

It's up to all of us now to make sure that England go out and play as well as we can, and I'm looking forward to competing for a place in the team.

The desire, enthusiasm and fires are there, and this selection has only intensified all those elements. I know that I need to go up another level but I believe I've got it within me to do just that. I don't need to be told that there are no guarantees in life. There never have been. Six Nations titles won't be won by one man alone, or even 15 men. They'll be won by a squad. I want to be part of that squad. I'm sure at some stage I'll get an opportunity.
