Rugby, Australian Football: Woodward wants players to return

Sir Clive Woodward has opened the door for three former England players to return to the international fold following their retirements.

Woodward has revealed that World Cup winners Martin Johnson, Neil Back and Lawrence Dallaglio would be welcome to become part of the Lions tour that visits New Zealand next summer.

Woodward, who will coach the Lions, insists those players must show a real desire to become involved and return to the international arena.
