Dallaglio tears into England rugby squad

The former England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio has torn into the current squad saying they're not fit enough, not disciplined enough and nowhere near as good as they think they are.

He says the team are well off the required standard ahead of their second round Six Nations match against defending grand slam champions Wales in Cardiff this weekend.

England opened their campaign with a 36-11 win over Italy but the margin of victory belied the fact that several England tries owed much to Italy playing a flanker at halfback.
