I was looking forward to DC vs Faf. In hindsight, it was a
blessing that Faf was injured.

come back. Robshaw needs keeping. Care needs to be told to stop
waving his arms around and wasting time at rucks and just get
the ball out. He used to do the same a few years ago, stoped and
his game improved and he is back doing it again. From the last
few games it looks like Sink has checked out and already
wondering where to live in Bristol. We need to keep Joe.

Robshaw is interesting. If he is on 330k then that is alot of
money for someone who is potentially only going to be a squad
player. Another year older next season and our back row is well
stocked with Dombrandt, Lawday, Clifford, Semi, Chisholm and
White (I can see Bothma leaving). Im not saying get rid, but if
he were to stay a lower salary would be a good idea for Quins
(saw 200k mentioned). Gives us cash to boost elsewhere. Not too
bad a deal for Robshaw either, he gets to stay in London, His
missus has her career here, he has his coffee shop and 200k is
still a good whack for a squad player.

I don’t know about a loss in pace but he is definitely slower at
the ruck, trying to draw the pen for offside. I think the refs
see through it which is why we’re not getting the same amount of
decisions that appear obvious.

I had a chat with a fellow fan who suggested Robshaw might go
for a payday in Japan. Whilst he could undoubtedly command good
money there, he is still a bit "box office" in the UK. A couple
of years overseas could see his image fade a little, and he'd
lose out on that side when he returns. As you say, he seems to
have several strings to his bow here, and after a long career I
wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to ease away from playing
rugby. His body will have taken a lot of punishment and the
attrition will only get worse. I'd imagine he's earned a fair
whack over the last decade.

There is a big change happening in Japenese domestic rugby.
Sunwolves are in their last season and the domestic game is up
in the air as to how it will proceed. There is a quite a bit of
uncertainty and it is not crystal clear how that will impact OS
players going forward. It could work in their favour or it
could not.
