Head coach Brian Ashton has confirmed the Wasps skipper, who played a pivotal role when England were crowned 2003 world champions, remains in the selection shake-up.

"Lawrence has never been out of the frame in terms of our thinking," said Ashton. "One of the things he brings to the party is the fact he has got very good leadership skills on the field. It may well be we decide that is something we need, come World Cup time."

He added: "In my opinion, I think he played better and better this season once the Heineken Cup knockout stages began.

"He'd not had a great season, by his own admission, up to and including the first part of the Six Nations."

Dallaglio, 34, helped Wasps land their second European title in four seasons when the Londoners ended Leicester's trophy treble bid at Twickenham last month.
