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.

It is unbelievable the slump in England's form since beating Ireland in last year's 6 N, and giving the AB's a good run for the money down in NZ. The Felix Jones walkout has been disastrous. What happened there we may never know.
The England backline has faltered too, scoring some great tries, but then also making bad mistakes, such as the one that led to the Kellaway try. I felt that out in NZ there was too much possession kicked away, and that has continued this autumn.
One does miss a lot in just watching the game once, and not going back and checking on "what really happened". That is where the analytical part of your articles are so illuminating, Nick.
