Chris Robshaw shifts somewhat uneasily in his chair when the conversation turns to the fact that he sits third on the all-time list of most Test matches as England captain. After being appointed skipper for Stuart Lancaster’s first match in charge against Scotland nearly three years ago, the 28 year-old has taken his team onto the field on 30 occasions, with only leadership doyennes Will Carling (59) and Martin Johnson (41) ahead of him in the rugby annals. Robshaw is an understated, uncluttered individual off the field, but pours an unrelenting on-pitch attitude into indefatigable performances. In the gritty win over Samoa to secure a first victory of the autumn last Saturday he chopped down 28 ball carriers, 10 more than any of his teammates.
