Get used to this face...

Quins' surprise defeat of Heineken giants Toulouse yesterday will inevitably increase the stock of Chris Robshaw, who is now widely touted as the next England captain. Strong in contact, and blessed with palpable leadership skills, the young man from the Stoop will be difficult to overlook when Stuart Lancaster and his Band of Merry if Slightly Apprehensive Men gather to select their 6 Nations squad. Robshaw for captain would be accompanied by the popping of champagne corks in SW London, although Conor O'Shea may be secretly less than chuffed. To add the England job to Robshaw's "to-do" list may be asking a lot of a player who, a few short weeks ago, was only a fringe squad player.
