England captain Chris Robshaw returns for Harlequins after shoulder injury

Robshaw sustained the problem during Quins' European Rugby Champions Cup victory over Leinster back in December.

After a five-week absence, it was announced on Friday that he would return to the line-up for this weekend's Premiership meeting with Leicester Tigers.

The news will come as a welcome boost for England and head coach Stuart Lancaster, with the Six Nations beginning on February 6.

England kick off the tournament against Wales in Cardiff and Robshaw will be keen to prove his fitness with his club side ahead of that opening fixture.

In further good news for England, prop Joe Marler will also make his comeback from injury as one of seven changes to the Quins side that defeated London Welsh last weekend.
