Embattled Robinson vows to face challenge head on

ANDY ROBINSON faces the defining few weeks of his career as England head coach, insisting: “I have never ducked a challenge.”

England conclude their four-Test autumn series with a quick-fire rematch against South Africa at Twickenham today, and Robinson’s future remains the subject of intense scrutiny.

Even if England follow up last week’s victory over the Springboks by completing a double just 10 months before the countries’ World Cup pool clash in Paris, Robinson may not be around for the forthcoming RBS 6 Nations Championship campaign.
