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.

Well it seems to be quite obvious that the return of Owen Farrell at fly-half for the England rugby team for the test against the world champion New Zealand has caused a big difference to the team after looking at the way the team beat New Zealand.

Chris Robshaw, the captain of the England Rugby Team and a lifelong supporter of the London based English Premiership club Arsenal FC has welcomed the new strip of the national team. The changed red wine strip of the Rugby team is extremely similar to the kit once worn by the players of The Gunners and Robshaw is absolutely in awe of the new kits. A red currant strip was worn by the famous Arsenal side of 2005/06 in homage to their Highbury Stadium, which they left next year to relocate to the Emirates Stadium.

Stuart Lancaster, the head coach of the national team for the England Rugby team in the Rugby Union has been granted an honorary degree from the Leeds Metropolitan University during their summer graduation ceremonies. Stuart, who studied as an undergraduate at the famous university, was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Sport for the contribution he has made to sport of rugby, both as a player and a coach.

Stuart Lancaster, the head coach of the England Rugby Team has denied that he has been in contact with Andy Farrell over a possible reunion with the England coaching set up.

It was announced on Friday morning, the 1st of June by the Saracens that Farrell had resigned from his post as the head coach of the Aviva Premiership side and almost immediately, it was being speculated that he will join the coaching staff of the England national team with Stuart Lancaster.

English club rugby had been one of the major forces in the European scene over the last few years with clubs from the country vying for the title in two of Europe’s elite club competitions, but not any more.

With the defeat of the Saracens FC at the hands of Clermont over the weekend, England, for the first time, has been left without a representative I either of the two top European club competitions.

It is widely thought that there are only two candidates for the vacant England manager/head coach vacancy. It is generally thought that the next man to take to role on a full time basis will be either Stuart Lancaster or Nick Mallett.

Ian Ritchie, the RFU’s new Chief Executive has though revealed that there are two others in consideration for the job.

Former South Africa coach, Jake White has confirmed that he is in contention for the vacant England manager’s job.

He has told his current employers, ACT Brumbies, that the RFU has approached him and is considering him for the job.

Brumbies seems highly supportive of their man and are keen for him to take the choice which would benefit his career the most. They do how highlight in a statement that White is in the first year of a four year contract and should he be successful there would be “many details that would need to be worked through”.

Harlequins’ captain Chris Robshaw has been named as England’s skipper for the forthcoming Six Nations opener against Scotland despite only having made one appearance for his nation’s team to date.

Robshaw’s lone cap came over two and a half years ago, but is tipped to play an integral role in the future of the England side following some impressive form for Harlequins so far this season.

Robshaw fought off competition from Dylan Hartley, Tom Croft and Tom Wood for the role, but when Wood picked up a toe injury the Quins man emerged as the favourite to take the role.
