Chris Robshaw (born 4 June 1986) is an English rugby union player. He was the captain of the England national rugby union team from January 2012 until December 2015. Robshaw's position of choice is in the back row of the scrum, usually flanker.
Born the second of three boys, Robshaw coped with the trauma of his father's death when he was five years old. His mother, Patricia, raised her sons alone. Robshaw started playing rugby for Warlingham RFC at the age of seven, and attended Cumnor House School. He then moved to Millfield Preparatory School and then Millfield, where he was first team captain.
Robshaw made his Premiership debut in the London double header at the start of the 2007–08 season. He went on to be included in the England Saxons squad who won the Churchill Cup in the summer of 2008.
Since the 2014-15 season Robshaw has been the first team and club vice captain of the London-based Harlequins club; he relinquished the captaincy to Joe Marler in order to focus on his duties as England captain. Robshaw is a two-time Aviva Premiership Player of the Year winner, an award he first won following the 2008/9 season, and then again following Harlequins' title-winning campaign in 2011/12. He started and scored a try for Harlequins in their 2011–12 Premiership final victory over Leicester Tigers.
Robshaw played for England Schools Under 18 (January) during 2004, before making his First XV debut during the 2005–06 season; scoring two tries in the 42–3 victory over the Pertemps Bees at The Stoop.
