Rugby Union: Robshaw demands further improvement

11Dec 2012

England captain Chris Robshaw has called for his team-mates not to get carried away as thoughts start to turn to the Six Nations, which begins in less than two months' time.

Having defeated New Zealand 38-21 in their final match of the autumn international series, expectations for the Red Rose have heightened and they are now 2/1 with bet365 to win the 2013 Six Nations title. Stuart Lancaster's team open their campaign against Scotland before taking on Ireland in week two and Robshaw is looking forward to the tournament. "We won't get carried away with the victory over New Zealand," he said. "It was a great victory but we need to make sure that we keep on improving and I think that's the biggest thing." Since Lancaster took charge of the national team, the 43-year-old has always looked to the 2015 World Cup, which England are 11/2 to win, as the long-term target.
