Chris Robshaw re-signs with San Diego Legion

Former England captain Chris Robshaw has re-signed with San Diego Legion for the 2022 MLR season.

Robshaw’s first season with the team was curtailed by injury, as the flanker dislocated his shoulder twice within the span of his first three games.

Robshaw made the move to San Diego after a remarkable 16-years with Harlequins. Capped 66 times by England, Robshaw was hoping made an impact in the fledgling league but it looks like his season could be over.
