About Lawrence Dallaglio

Lorenzo Bruno Nero Dallaglio is an English retired rugby union player. He is a former captain of England, and a 2016 inductee of the World Rugby Hall of Fame. Playing in all three positions in the back row, he played 85 caps for England, and was part of the team that won the 2003 World Cup. He is one of a very small number of players to have won both the Rugby World Cup and Sevens World Cup. This only became known in 2005, when the Musicians' Union, having realised that the choristers had not been paid royalties on the record, attempted to track them down. The final, played at Twickenham, set a world record for the highest attendance figure for a club rugby match (at around 82,000).
