England Rugby Fans
Chris Robshaw has reacted to the stunning and spirited performance that the England Rugby Team put up against the Rugby World Cup holders New Zealand as they came very close to upsetting the odds and beat the world champions by declaring that the team needs to win the upcoming Six Nations title in order to show that there has been progress made by the team in the right direction.
This has to be one of the most embarrassing times for the England rugby circuit. Sam Burgess, who plays forward for the England rugby league, is facing a possible two game ban for what he did on the field, when the team was playing against Melbourne Storm.
Burgess has been accused of grabbing Will Chambers between the legs and injuring him during the later part of the game.
Chris Ashton, the winger of the England Rugby Team has hailed the performances of his England international team mate Alex Corbisero following the stunning series victory of the British and Irish Lions against Australia last month.
And Corbisero, who was absolutely stellar in his role at prop as he scrummaged the Wallabies to submit, was singled out for praise by Ashton for his dominant displays which many critics have also hailed as the pivotal moment in the team’s triumph Down Under.
England and Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland has ruled out making a fresh approach for former England international Jonny Wilkinson regarding his availability for the Lions tour of Australia in the summer. Wilkinson was named as the European Player of the Year, merely 24 hours after leading his side Toulon to glory in the Heineken Cup over Clermont Auvergne in the final, helping the big spending French side to continental glory.
Matthew Tait, the full back for the Aviva premiership Rugby Football Union club the Leicester Tigers says that he has not given up hope of earning a recall to the England Rugby Team.
The 27 year old has earned 38 international caps for the national team but the last of those caps came almost three years back in 2010, and the player himself has been plagued with injuries in the subsequent time, which has more than hampered his chances of getting back to the national team squad.
Stuart Lancaster, the head coach of the England Rugby Team has given confirmation that Harlequins FC skipper Chris Robshaw has been reappointed as the captain of the team for the upcoming Six Nations Championship.
The Harlequins man was in scintillating form last term as he led the England team to a second placed finish in the Six Nations Championship and will wear the captain’s armband against Scotland when England play their first game at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday, the 2nd of February.
