Harlequins team-mates pay tribute to departing Robshaw who is due for MLR talks this week
By Josh Raisey
Former England captain Chris Robshaw announced on Monday that he will be leaving Harlequins at the end of the season after 16 years with them.
The 33-year-old shared on a social media post that he will be “hanging up my Harlequins shirt”.
He did not specify what the next step in his career will be, but RugbyPass reported last week that he is due to meet with Rugby United New York this week with a view to playing Major League Rugby next season.
The flanker is undoubtedly a Harlequins legend, with only Mike Brown playing more games for the club.
Many of his current and former team-mates have paid tribute to him, praising the 66-cap England international for his work rate and commitment.

These are qualities that are always on display whenever he plays as he is usually the most industrious player on the field and he remains a consistent and reliable performer.
His club’s CEO Laurie Dalrymple even described him as the “personification of Harlequins”.

Think it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
