Robshaw out of Six Nations after aggrevatin­g shoulder

-

CHRIS Robshaw will miss the Six Nations after he was ruled out for 12 weeks due to shoulder surgery. Robshaw, below, aggravated an existing problem in Harlequins’ defeat to Worcester on January 1.

England boss Eddie Jones will now need to find a new blindside in a pack already hit hard by injury. Mako and Billy Vunipola are set to miss the bulk of the Six Nations with knee injuries while George Kruis is nursing a fractured cheekbone. James Haskell returned from injury on Sunday to play his first rugby since June but lasted only 35 seconds before being forced off with a head knock. He is due back next week.
