Chris Robshaw re-appointed England captain

As expected, Chris Robshaw has been re-appointed England captain for the upcoming RBS 6 Nations.
Since taking the reins for Head Coach Stuart Lancaster‘s first game against Scotland in February 2012 the Harlequins skipper has led England in 19 of their last 22 Tests – only missing the third Test in South Africa in June 2012 through injury and being rested for last summer’s series in Argentina.
He said: “Stuart rang me yesterday and, as with every time he has asked me, it is a great privilege. To lead your country is a massive honour but I am fortunate to have a group of players and leaders who support me in that.
“We want to kick on from the QBE Internationals and we can’t wait for the challenge ahead, starting with a tough away match against France.”
Lancaster added: “Chris is in the team on merit as a player first and foremost but he has also shown himself to be an outstanding leader for Harlequins and England. He led us well during the QBE Internationals and I have no doubt that, as he goes into his third RBS 6 Nations as captain, he will do likewise.”
The England squad will, pending fitness following Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup Round 6, meet up at Pennyhill Park on Monday, January 20.
Alex Corbisiero, Ben Foden and Marland Yarde will also attend camp for assessment and treatment by the England medical team as part of their ongoing recovery from injury.
