Second row George Robson will step out at Wembley on Saturday knowing one game will not define a season, but it could go a long way to deciding his immediate international future.

The 26-year-old Quins star, pictured below, impressed for the England Saxons earlier this season and goes up against Saracens’ England international lock Mouritz Botha when the two teams clash at the home of English football.

Their battle is one of a number of intriguing match-ups between the Premiership’s top two teams, which will see the likes of Joe Marler, Jordan Turner-Hall and Ugo Monye go toe-to-toe with players ahead of them in the England pecking order.

But Robson, boosted by Stuart Lancaster’s appointment on Thursday as England’s head coach on a permanent basis, is relishing his own chance to prove his point and grab a seat at the international top table as Quins push for a first Premiership title in the club’s history.

“If ever there comes a time when a second row doesn’t enjoy kicking lumps out of his opposite man, then that will be a sad day for rugby,” he said.

“But it is not just Mouritz I need to worry about, to be fair. They are a good side.

“A lot can happen between now and the end of the season, so you cannot look any further than the next game.

“England have shown they will give younger players a go and my target is just to keep playing well and hopefully get a place on the summer tour to South Africa.”

Botha has suggested Quins will be stopped if Sarries can eliminate the influence of star fly half Nick Evans, although Maurie Fa’asavalu’s try in Saturday’s 14-6 win over Bath at the Stoop suggested otherwise.

The score did add to nine-points from Evans’s boot and, while Robson admitted it was an honour to play with the Kiwi star, he insisted his influence was not all encompassing.

“Whenever you have got a player of Nick’s ability people are always going to say he is the key to a side,” he added.

“He is brilliant and it is an honour to play alongside him. We have other threats, but I’m not going to reveal who or what they are.”

The win preserved Robson’s 100 per cent record as captain this season – when he has stood in for England skipper Chris Robshaw – a fact he was proud of.

“You can write it down and tell Chris and Conor O’Shea while you are at it,” he added.

“I have a certain amount of leadership duties in the forwards anyway, so to step in hasn’t been too much of a problem.

“Chris told me to only worry about my own game and the rest looks after itself. I like to think I’ve played well but I’ll leave others to judge that.”
