[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 158698"] Very dissappointed in him and Catt....why not just go out with your head held up instead of *****ing an sniping your way into retirement in order to flog a few extra copies of your forthcoming book. I'd have definitely bought Dallaglio's, he's had a fantastic career with all it's ups and downs but I won't touch it now. Which game was it that Dallaglio was captain of England, going for a grand slam...He took the decision to go for the corner instead of kicking a penalty which would have put them more than a converted try ahead. It backfired and England blew it. Martin Johnson was in the team and when Lawrence told the team his decision Johnson just said "Are you sure about this skipper?" Dallaglio nodded so Johnson said "Let's do it". Johnson knew it was the wrong decision but in his book he doesn't even mention the fact he disagreed and, as I remember, just takes his share of the collective responsibilty. It was in an interview with Dallaglio that Johnson's "Do you think that's quite wise Sir" came out....pity Lawrence didn't learn the lesson. You don't do your dirty laundry in public. Dignity is everything. [/QUOTE]
