We have an exceptional evening lined up with possibly the most decorated hero of our time Lawrence Dallaglio, who has achieved virtually every accolade as a rugby legend for both club and country holding court. The evening will begin with a champagne reception with Lawrence and 20 past and present rugby icons, then a sumptious three course dinner will be served. Each table will be joined for dinner by one of the rugby ledgends. The evening is hosted by John Inverdale, with his time following rugby on the BBC he is well placed to open Lawrence up with an insight into his career and will hold a Q&A session which will be opened up to the floor giving you the opportunity to ask Lawrence anything you want. This will be a very intimate affair hosted in the most prestigious room in English Cricket history, the Long Room at Lords.

The Long Room at Lords
The Long Room with its windows overlooking the cricket field, is lined with paintings of famous cricketers and administrators from the 18th century to the 21st. Portraits of modern, or overseas players amount to a tremendous compliment and are restricted to very few personalities. For example, only four Australian cricketers have ever been honored in this way: Sir Donald Bradman, Keith Miller, Victor Trumper and Shane Warne; and of those four, only one has played international cricket in the last 50 years. Australian Justin Langer, described walking through the Long Room like "being bearhugged by an invisible spirit". Players walk through the Long Room on their way from the dressing rooms to the ground. The walk from dressing room to cricket field at Lord's is notoriously long and complex. On his Test debut in 1975, David Steele got lost and ended up in the pavilion's basement toilets.
