Chris Robshaw suffered an unfortunate injury setback on his first appearance for new club San Diego Legion over the weekend. The former England captain impressed on his debut for the Major League Rugby club but was forced off late in the second half with an injury.

And Robshaw has since confirmed on Twitter that he dislocated his shoulder, setting him up for a spell on the sidelines.

“Not the debut I hoped for,” Robshaw wrote.

“Unfortunately I dislocated my shoulder, thanks to the medical team for putting it back in quickly.

Despite a strong second-half showing San Diego fell to a 34-32 defeat to the Houston SaberCats.

Robshaw made the move to San Diego after a remarkable 16-years with Harlequins.

The flanker, who was capped 66 times by England, was recently a guest on The RugbyPass Offload, where he picked his starting XV for the first Test of the British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa.

Robshaw’s selection included seven Englishmen, five Welsh, two Irish and just one Scot.

'Most controversial call ever': Tizzano no-call lingers over Lions series win

I really thought they had it the bag. The fact the BILs took so long to get ahead, despite the Wallabies making numerous errors, showed how winnable this game was. Bloody annoying.

'Most controversial call ever': Tizzano no-call lingers over Lions series win

Well, there was no head to head or shoulder to head contact. Or high degree of force. Or any force. Just a brush on the BACK of the neck which was more of a soft landing than a hit.

Wait until after RWC? In a perfect world yes. And he will be. But last year was seen as transition & this season was always seen as change. Which is what we’ll be judging very closely.

Well Rassie's policy took the Boks to back to back WC Trophies. The ultimate pinnacle of Rugby world wide. That policy made the Boks the number 1 Test ranked side in the world. I'd say that is a winning policy. It made them the most successful team since 2019. Your thinking is flawed and biased and not based on actual real life facts. You want to see where each policy takes us. You are late to the game. The Boks policy has been ongoing since 2018. A very very successful one I might add 😂😂😂😂

Agree, seemed the wallabies were trying to defend the lead rather than add to it. Kicking it out with 2 and handing a line out with 2 to go against a strong attacking team is crazy.

And what about “ supporting the body weight” ?

I think Lions win was deserve, but the this call is discuss is not a surprise.

And This kind of kleening will end whith a tétraplegic or a death…

But if it's allowed by the laws of the game, who cares ?

I disagree. Also, that’s not why the Wallabies lost. Surrendering a 23-5 lead to this very average BILs team says it all. Not good.

'Most controversial call ever': Tizzano no-call lingers over Lions series win

Good call. There was no head to head, or shoulder to head, or anything to head, contact. After initial shoulder to shoulder contact, there was a brush on the back of the neck in a soft landing motion. Both players were low. The hollywood attempt was unconvincing too.

Morgan Turinui is a bad ambassador for the game, bleating on & on & on as he does. His negative attitude is distasteful. Save it for Rugby Heaven or wherever else tests are reviewed. The Wallabies should really be asking themselves how tf did they lose to a very average BILs side after leading 23-5, six minutes from HT?

He should be judged after the WC to be fair. Testing different players and combos and tactics and building depth is not an easy task. We were only happy with Rassie after the 2019 WC final. He had his plans, and we decided to give him the chance to prove us wrong. Choosing the incorrect coaches and staff can also have an adverse effect. Much more goes into it than a game over the weekend you know that. It's just that head coaches takes and gets all the blame. Unlike over the sideline, you actually know what you are talking about and doesn't just spew whatever drivel comes to mind. The fans are heavily decided about the current crop of players and who they think is the best players. I'm just glad I don't coach the AB's or Boks. That isn't easy jobs, no matter what who thinks.
