Robshaw hails England performance

Posted on by admin

England and Harlequins FC player Chris Robshaw has reacted to the national team’s defeat to Rugby World Cup holders New Zealand in a spirited display by stating that the team has no other option but win the Six Nations to show the fans that there have been genuine progress made by the side.

The All Blacks went on to avenge their humiliating defeat at the hands of England at the fabled Twickenham Stoop in last summer’s autumn international as they defeated the Englishmen in one of the most captivating matches of the QBE Internationals. However, the All Blacks were brought down to a pretty ordinary level by the England players and the England skipper is confident it is a sign of good things to come in the future.

For a New Zealand team that motivates itself by claiming to be the most dominant team in the history of professional rugby in the world needed some divine intervention and a moment of genius from two of their stars to preserve their perfect record this season.

And although it was the team’s second defeat in eleven internationals, the Harlequins FC man still thinks even that record is unacceptable, and it doesn’t matter whether the loss comes at the hands of the world champions.

The England skipper stated the team definitely is very close to where they want to be but there is still some distance to go before they reach that stage. He went on to add that had they beaten New Zealand, they would have been pretty happy but they are in a position where they will come close to winning every match and it is a matter of concentration and focus that will see them through to victory in the end and the Harlequins FC player knows that the end is in sight.
