Robinson should play on wing: Carling

FORMER Grand Slam captain and centre Will Carling believes England are wasting one of their most potent attacking weapons by selecting Jason Robinson at fullback instead of wing.

Despite the fact the league convert scored England’s only try in the 25-17 Six Nations win over France last week, the 72-times-capped Carling contends that Robinson’s considerable gifts are best utilised wider out.

“Robinson is one of world rugby’s great attacking players, yet we have him exiled at fullback and the result is England are only playing to 60% of their attacking potential. To be brutally honest, he is wasted in that role,” said Carling.
