Harlequins flanker Chris Robshaw believes that he has "grown" into the role of captain.

Harlequins captain Chris Robshaw believes that he is capable of leading England in their opening Six Nations fixture against Scotland next week.

The flanker has been tipped to captain Stuart Lancaster's national side following an injury blow to Tom Wood.

"I feel I have definitely evolved and grown with experience," said Robshaw. "In my first couple of games I was probably a bit nervous and looked around at players who had been to World Cup finals or were 10 years older than me.

"It can be quite a daunting time for a young guy but it is all about doing it in the way you want to do it. Of course you have people trying to influence things, but at the end of the day, you have to make those hard decisions and it is about experience.

"You learn how to speak to the ref and you learn how to speak to certain players - whether a player needs to be shouted at or have a arm put around his shoulder. These things don't happen overnight but I feel I have grown into the role. I would relish the chance to captain the side at Murrayfield."

Dylan Hartley and Tom Croft are also possible options for interim coach Lancaster when he appoints the England elite captain.
