The nipper who grew into a skipper

The Daily Mail's Rob Wildman traces the rugby roots of England skipper Chris Robshaw.

"Standing a short head above his team-mates and gazing steadfastly into the camera, he looks every inch a captain in the making.

"But not even the most ardent supporter of Warlingham under-eights would have dared to dream, that day in 1996, that young Chris Robshaw would one day lead out England at Murrayfield in the Six Nations.

"The Warlingham lads had just won a festival at East Grinstead. Hardly surprising, perhaps, given that they fielded not one but two future Test players."
