Chris Robshaw to lead England at Six Nations

Chris, also Captain of table-topping Harlequins, attended both Millfield Prep School and Senior School from 1997-2004.

The 25-year-old flanker succeeds Lewis Moody as England skipper and will lead his country out at Murrayfield for Saturday's match against Scotland.
