Robshaw suffers injury setback on debut for San Diego Legion
By Ciarán Kennedy
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.
"Time to rest, recover, and see what the scan says."
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.

Nah, that just needs some more variation. Chip kicks, grubber stabs, all those. Will Jordan showed a pretty good reason why the rush was bad for his link up with BB.
If you have an overlap on a rush defense, they naturally cover out and out and leave a huge gap near the ruck.
It also helps if both teams play the same rules. ARs set the offside line 1m past where the last mans feet were😅
Go to commentsYeah nar, should work for sure. I was just asking why would you do it that way?
It could be achieved by outsourcing all your IP and players to New Zealand, Japan, and America, with a big Super competition between those countries raking it in with all of Australia's best talent to help them at a club level. When there is enough of a following and players coming through internally, and from other international countries (starting out like Australia/without a pro scene), for these high profile clubs to compete without a heavy australian base, then RA could use all the money they'd saved over the decades to turn things around at home and fund 4 super sides of their own that would be good enough to compete.
That sounds like a great model to reset the game in Aus. Take a couple of decades to invest in youth and community networks before trying to become professional again. I just suggest most aussies would be a bit more optimistic they can make it work without the two decades without any pro club rugby bit.
