Twickers in a twist over Robinson departure

TWICKENHAM top brass were last night still unable to make an announcement about England head coach Andy Robinson’s departure — 72 hours after his final game in charge.

It is believed Robinson will resign, rather than be sacked, from a post he has filled for the past 22 Test matches.

England won just nine games during his time at the helm, their 13 defeats including a run of seven successive losses between February and November this year. The last straw was Saturday’s 25-14 defeat against South Africa — England led 14-3 just before half-time — making his exit inevitable.
