Dallaglio: Fine form

Wasps will reopen negotiations with England veteran Lawrence Dallaglio in the new year.

The experienced number eight and 2003 World Cup winner is out of contract with the club at the end of the season.

He captained the Londoners to a 25-10 vctory over Guinness Premiership title contenders Bath on Saturday.

England head coach Brian Ashton has refused to call time on the 35-year-old's international career though and Wasps are keen to extend Dallaglio's expiring deal.

Club chief executive Tony Copsey said: "Lawrence is playing some of his best rugby so we hope he'll carry on next season."

Ashton will name his squad for the Six Nations on January 9 although the former England skipper is resigned to missing out.
