Dallaglio was just a leader and a big occasion man. Whether it be with Wasps or England you kind of felt more comfortable when he was in the team. He never took a backward step and led from the front. An amazing player. My personal favourite moment was him spoiling the fairytale ending for Johnson and Back at Leicester... everything was geared for it to be their day, the big sign off and Dallaglio and his Wasps team had better ideas. Fair play.
I was never an England fan being Wesh. But I hugely admire and respect you for all that you have given to rugby. You are a very special person. May Allah bless you and your family.
Interesting to hear Lol talk as if it was aslow start. As a keen - but not nearly good enough - backrower, who playedwith both Tim Rodber and Ben Clarke before being left in their wake, I was already hearing stories about the wonderkid Dellaglio from younger mates when he was still making his way to the England U18s team. Make no mistakes, he's absolute class...and has been ever since he was just a teenager.
Really enjoyed your tales Lawrence. As an Irish fan you were always someone we didn’t like playing against which shows how great you were. Loved watching you play in any other game. You played with a fans mentality- passion, skill and direct force. Inspiring to see what you are now involved in. Thanks for the moments and the memories.
Sydney is my best rugby moment, but the 97 Lions was truly inspiring. Lawrence, you have been a great, great ambassador for England and the Lions. Thanks
A True 'Hard Fella'. My favourite LD moment? Him scoring 'That' try at the 6 Nations in 2000 against the Welsh. He bulled his way over the white-wash, whilst carrying, and being hung onto by four or five Welshmen, who were defending their try line against the ' Great Un-loved'. Power and intent personified by this fine sportsman.
Great career top player watched you play few times when you came to Wales with wasps had great night in Llanelli with the wasp supporters great bunch it makes proud to part of the rugby family as a player and supporter, I've been on three lions tours the ultimate tour for supporters,
Mad respect for Lawrence. A hard man of rugby, the ultimate competitor, and committed himself to one club for his whole career. When you saw his name on the team sheet you knew England meant business.
you were my fave number 8, loved watching you play, even though I grew up in NZ and now live in Au, Eng and Lions are the teams I support and have done since 1964, was overjoyed when you toppled Au in the Cup. everyone was saying the team were too old, but you battled strongly all the way BRAVO Lawrence
Lawrence is a hero, an inspiration to poor kids who have no direction in life by showing them that rugby will accept them and allow them to thrive and be a part of the family. He is the archetypal hard rugby forward and the proudest Englishman you could ever meet but is unafraid to show his emotions. Thanks for some amazing memories Lawrence.
Your capabilities stand out through your complete openness and are of great value to whoever follows on... a testament to rising up from a working class background to becoming a world class player and yet still holding the values of gratitude....... Thank you.....
Would have loved to have seen you in an Ireland jersey. Met Lawernce and few other English players in a pub in Dublin after a 6 nations game one year and he was super friendly for the few minutes we chatted to him and other players with him.
He could've played for Ireland or Italy, but chose England as that was where he was born and grew up. Massive respect for the guy, would've like him whatever country he played for.
As a welshman I was destined to hate the English rugby team lol but I also recognised quality and Lawrence stood out for me with his no nonsense approach hard as nails and that's how I got into following wasps and that 2004 final against Toulouse is my stand out moment
He was ferocious on the pitch, I remember how much he'd put in against Wales: he'd feel more like the bad guy than an opposition player. Saying that, he was always great off the pitch and his post-playing career has proven him to be up there amongst the top analysts with his knowledge of the game. I've always liked how he's willing to acknowledge the emotion of sport as much as its technical and tactical sides.
I remember the munster wasps semis in 2004. Totally outnumbered fan wise, he marched his team down in front of the most hostile terrace to do their warm up in the goal area. What a man. Dont make em like that anymore.
Thankyou Lawrence for a great and honest tour through your Jerseys. Like many Englishmen Ive followed your journey and career and its been a privilage to watch you and to be thouroughly entertained. Great career, great man.
Great stories Lawerence. You were a fantastic player and broke our hearts in Landowne Road V Munster. I enjoyed watching you in Living With The Lions - you'd be a good man to follow into battle!
Best memories of Lawrence - the ‘97 Lions, of course. Never took a backward step and then England vs the All Blacks in Wellington. Indomitable. And then 2002/3 in that dominant England team. I’ve lived in NZ for a while and despite the hammering that the Lions took in 2005 the Kiwis were really disappointed that Lawrence didn’t get to play anywhere enough, in a better team. That was the level of respect that the Kiwis had for him. And as we know they don’t hand out respect lightly.
Great video. You’ve been a rugby inspiration to me and now my kids, especially given all you’ve been through. I was at Twickenham in 2004 for the Heineken win. I had a week long hangover after. What a great team with a truly influential leader. As for RWC 2003, tears in my eyes just thinking about it. And I’m no Irish-Italian
PRAISE JESUS..GREAT VIDEO LAWRANCE JIM TELFER WAS OUR COACH AT SCHOOL AND WE WENT ON TO BE THE ONLY TEAM IN SCOTLAND TO GO THE WHOLE SEASON WITHOUT ANY ONE CROSSING OUR TRY LINE ONCE...HE WAS ALSO MY GEOGRAPHY TEACHER..IAM SURE THIS WAS A WORLD RECORD ..WHEN U SEE JIM AGAIN ASK HIM ABOUT THIS RECORD IN PORTOBELLO SCHOOL..TAKE CARE
I saw you play in the dubai rugby sevens a long time ago ! Do you remember playing on the sand ? The way you represented England makes me very pride to be English THANK YOU
Good yarns mate. Interesting to see another British lion saying it was the cream of the crop, we don't really have anything like that in the southern hemisphere etc. Must be pretty cool and prestigious
yeah bragging about it too, makes me feel ill the way I used to look up to him as a kid. I suppose it's a case of separating art from artist. When all is said and done, he was an absolutely incredible rugby player and it's fair to remember him as such.
What is your favourite Lawrence Dallaglio moment? Let us know in the comments.
As a Welshman when he retired!Incredible career though perhaps the first to be able to play across the back row and still be world class!

Never made any excuses when losing a game, i liked that a lot about him, great leadership qualities. And obviously a great player too!!!
Dallaglio is the Best Number 8
Of all time.
One of my all time favourite rugby players. Legend.
Top Bloke. Great Player. Role Model. Well Done & Thanks For Everything You've Done To Promote The Game.
I've read your book and I found it very inspiring, you are a legend and somebody I really look up to.

First time I've seen the Cueto try from behind. It was a try and we shld have won. Fix.
Lawrence was a great player!! Gave Munster and Ireland plenty of problems with Wasps and England over the years!!
Absolute legend - when are you going to coach England then?

Yes, this is my top Lawrence moment too - fantastic!

Great story through the Jerseys Lawrence, a tough but fair player, always great to watch in play 👍!!
Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Epic. Thank you for making 8 the best spot on the field.
Thank You so Much. Really enjoyed it. Regards from Ireland
Only Zinzan Brooke tops this man, and only Imanol Harinordoquy stands alongside. A truly great player.
Very moving - excellent
Your capabilities stand out through your complete openness and are of great value to whoever follows on... a testament to rising up from a working class background to becoming a world class player and yet still holding the values of gratitude....... Thank you.....
I really enjoy listening to rugby experiences and how people got to where they are today. I do believe Rugby can mould someone in to a better person.
A Very honest and intelligent man! A Great player also! And all this from a Welshman! Best of luck with your future endeavours L

Fantastic player 🏴🇬🇧👍🏻😎🏴
It was the 2003 RWC final for me. I was fortunate enough the be in the stand. Thank you for making it such a wonderful night. True rugby great 👍
That was top drawer thank you !!
Thankyou Lawrence for a great and honest tour through your Jerseys. Like many Englishmen Ive followed your journey and career and its been a privilage to watch you and to be thouroughly entertained. Great career, great man.

An absolute warrior..He would be the first name down on any team sheet if I had my choice...
I remember you scoring that ttry against us where you seem to out power 3 or 4 Welsh players to score from the back of a scrum
Great player great man
Lawrence, you really are a Top bloke...respect..
Legend
Series is great.
Hope all of those adds help finance the game at grassroots level and smaller nations!!
What a good man.

1997 Lions tour last of the amateurs, the sprit has since been dimmed!!!
As a kiwi Lawrence was player I used to hate, hate in respect of him, as he was such a great player.
Good yarns mate. Interesting to see another British lion saying it was the cream of the crop, we don't really have anything like that in the southern hemisphere etc. Must be pretty cool and prestigious
How does playing for the Barbarians match up to the others? Is this a "thank you" jersey, or a proud honour as well?
I thought that it was an emaciated Goldberg in the thumbnail.
What about the babas shirt?
I have one name for the Lions……….Morne Steyn
👍🙏🖐️
Who is this guy kidding is he the same guy handing out the candies after dark💀not a great roll model
yeah bragging about it too, makes me feel ill the way I used to look up to him as a kid. I suppose it's a case of separating art from artist. When all is said and done, he was an absolutely incredible rugby player and it's fair to remember him as such.
White lines? Not the ones on the pitch right?
