abstract:Brian Robinson (born 20 March 1966) in Belfast, is a past pupil of Cambridge House Grammar School in Ballymena and a former Irish rugby union international player who played for the Irish national rugby union team. He played as a number eight.
Brian Ashton replaced Robinson in December and England showed glimpses of a recovery but losses to Ireland and Wales left them third in this year's Six Nations.
The tourists have won just eight of the 22 Tests played since Johnson was appointed as team manager in 2008, an inferior record to predecessors Brian Ashton and Andy Robinson.
And the continued inability to produce much in the way of a coherent attacking game must be a major cause of concern for manager Martin Johnson, who has guided England to only eight wins in his 22 Tests in charge - a poorer record than predecessors Brian Ashton and Andy Robinson.
