Robshaw to captain England in autumn

Harlequins flanker Chris Robshaw will resume the England captaincy in their forthcoming autumn Tests after holding off the challenge of Tom Wood. Robshaw, 27, first led England against Scotland in February 2012 and continued in the role for 16 Tests. But having missed out on a British & Irish Lions place, he was rested for this summer's Argentina tour, when fellow back-rower Wood took over. But head coach Stuart Lancaster has decided to stick with Robshaw. The decision means he is like to remain at open-side flanker for the matches against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand.
