Lawrence Dallaglio's England squad nicknames

RT wouldn't dare challenge former England captain Lawrence Dallaglio to a game of rugby. But we felt we were on safer ground challenging him to a game of word association.

Here he responds to the names of his team-mates with the first thing that comes into his head - well, almost the first thing…

Some of the connections sound more complimentary than others. Just don't blame us if there's disunity in the team come the World Cup!
