Jason Robinson says he is delighted to be returning to the playing field, as he prepares to take part in a friendly match at Twickenham alongside other England greats.
Martin Johnson, Richard Hill, Will Greenwood and Lawrence Dallaglio are also included in the Englad team, who will take on an International XI featuring Scott Gibbs and Jonah Lomu, amongst others.
The ‘Help for Heroes’ match is expected to raise £1 million for injured British service men and women stationed all over the world, and Robinson says it is least he can do.
”A lot of people talk about international and club players putting their bodies on the line but you can’t compare that with our soldiers and what they do on behalf of their country. When Lawrence Dallaglio asked me to play I didn’t hesitate.”
He added, “I’m really looking forward to Saturday and I would encourage as many people as possible to buy tickets and support a superb cause.”
