Forgiving Robinson set for tough Test

WHEN Jason Robinson last left the field against South Africa he would not hear a word said against the Springboks.

That is mainly because he could hardly hear anything whatsoever having been kicked in the head while standing up a blow which was a gauge of the Springbok wildness on that shameful November day 12 months ago at Twickenham which left Robinson with a perforated ear drum.

True to his Born-Again Christian beliefs, however, Robinson was swift to forgive the malicious tactics of Corne Krige's side, instead feeling nothing but sorrow for the rugby nation which tomorrow fronts up against England in the World Cup's first true heavyweight head to head.
