England captain Chris Robshaw in the mix for Second Test against Argentina after rookies shine
Chris Robshaw is set to be fit for England’s Second Test against Argentina on Saturday, leaving Eddie Jones with a dilemma over his flankers.
The former England skipper missed the First Test with an ankle injury and in his absence the tourists fought back to win 38-34 in San Juan.
“Chris Robshaw has really progressed well,” Jones said on Monday.
“He should be in full training [on Monday]. We anticipate he will be available for selection.”
To accommodate Robshaw in Santa Fe, head coach Jones must decide whether to leave out Newcastle flanker Mark Wilson, who deputised superbly on debut, or Sale’s Tom Curry, who also caught the eye as he became the youngest player to start an England Test since 1927.
The 18-year-old was a constant threat at the breakdown while Jones praised Wilson’s team ethic, saying the 27-year-old is a “very selfless guy”.
“He played well, played very well,” Jones added. “It was a great debut."
