Robinson vows to go out on a high

JASON ROBINSON insists he did not make himself available for England’s World Cup campaign just to “crash and burn” into retirement as England kick off their pre-tournament programme against Wales at Twickenham today (4pm).

Robinson accepts predictions that England will not even reach the semi-finals in defence of their trophy are not too wide of the mark based on recent form.

But heading into his final challenge as a professional rugby player, Robinson is determined England can prove people wrong.
