Chris Robshaw confirms Harlequins will take 'proactive' stand for Black Lives Matter

It was reported that some clubs weren't keen to take the knee when representatives from all 12 Premiership clubs were due to hold a conference call at 1pm to discuss the matter.

However, Robshaw has revealed they will be supporting the cause.

"It's very much a group thing but of course people have to feel comfortable with it and supporting Black Lives Matter," Robshaw told Sky Sports.

"Speaking to all the guys - and Aaron Morris at our club has been heading that up - I know there's been talks between various teams and the RPA and so on about the right thing to do and the right way of supporting, and we are all going to support on Friday.

"But not only that; the club have been very proactive about it. We're having people come in and speak to us in future about their experiences, about how they feel, about prejudice and just expanding our minds.

"We want to be as understanding and as supportive as possible because we want people to have every opportunity they can, regardless of the colour of their skin."

Described by the club as ‘a real coup’ and 'deadly finisher' when the winger joined from relegated Newcastle Falcons last summer. However, it appears that the 35-year-old, who has been a prolific try scorer throughout his career, is finally starting to slow down. He didn't cross the whitewash in his six Premiership outings for Quins this season.

This loan move seemed to make perfect sense, but due to a number of factors it hasn't really worked out. Undergoing knee surgery immediately following the 2019 Rugby World Cup, Sharks fans didn't see him debut until a 30 minute cameo against Saracens in early February. Recalled by Eddie Jones for the Six Nations after making just one start for Sale, his loan expires on June 30. After that date, he is due to return to Newcastle and can no longer play for Sale if the season were to be extended into July.

One of only 20 players to win the Rugby World Cup twice, the prop arrived at Franklin's Gardens with a degree of expectation on his shoulders. It was hoped he'd bring his impressive strength and scrummaging technique to the pack at Franklin’s Gardens - but he's made just four starts. Saints fans will be hoping for much more in the second half of the season.

More disappointing than bad. The speedster, who went viral as a youngster for his four tries at Twickenham in the NatWest Schools Cup, joined Bristol last summer but left the Premiership side with immediate effect in February. He's since revealed he's taken the decision to pursue other opportunities outside of professional rugby.

London Irish again wasting money. They parted with £450,000 per season to land the experienced Ireland international. Due to a hip injury, the back-rower made just one appearance in a 39-0 defeat against Sale Sharks before the league was suspended. Sometimes signing even the best players doesn't work out.
