Robshaw ready for new chapter
Chris Robshaw is now looking forward to a new chapter in his career, after losing the captaincy to Dylan Hartley.
Robshaw lost the role he held from 2012 after a dismal World Cup, but Robshaw is now focused on supporting Hartley.
"Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to go out there and right some wrongs," Robshaw said.
"Hopefully I can perform and repay that trust in me that Eddie has shown so far.
"It was difficult coming back from the World Cup, but I need to go out there and hopefully achieve again.
"We all have setbacks in sport and in life and a lot of people in our game have gone on after them to be extremely successful."
Robshaw now wants to focus on being part of the team and lead England to their first 6 Nations title in 5 years.
"I fully understand the reasons for the captaincy change and respect Eddie for his choice and will support Dylan as well as possible," he added.
"Eddie is a good guy and he was honest with me and I think that is what you want from a head coach.
"For me now, it is about being part of the team, doing my bit for the team whatever that may be and supporting Dylan."
Webber to join Sale
Bath and England hooker Rob Webber is set to join Sale Sharks at the end of the season.
Webber will sign a 2 year deal with Sale ahead of the 2016/17 Aviva Premiership season.
The hooker currently has 16 caps for England, but was not selected in the 6 Nations squad this year.
"Rob fits perfectly into what we are trying to create at the club. He is a talented all round player, who is great at the set-piece and very mobile in the loose," said Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond.
"He is at the top of his game and will bring with him a wealth of experience."
