The Daily Telegraph's Mick Cleary talks to a bullish Delon Armitage following the London Irish man's demotion to the England Saxons.
"Delon Armitage has hit back at comments made about him by Andy Robinson, saying he was angered to have been labelled “arrogant” by the Scotland head coach.
Robinson cited the England No15 for a dangerous tackle on Chris Paterson in the World Cup, adding that he would not have done so if the tackle had been made by England captain Lewis Moody.
Armitage, who was banned for one week as a result, said he felt “victimised” and branded by reputation, and he expressed annoyance that he had been singled out by Robinson on grounds of his personality.
“Of course it did [anger me],” Armitage said. “If ever I were a manager, I wouldn’t be throwing out comments like that. I wouldn’t be impressed with myself. It’s not what you expect.”
