IT'S TIME TO GO, ROBBO

Former England flanker Robinson will wait to be sacked by his bosses rather than walk away from the job he has held since Sir Clive Woodward stepped down just over two years ago.

But surely, with just 10 months to the next World Cup and in the wake of this

humiliating defeat, it is the RFU's last chance to give a new coach the opportunity to pull around the reigning world champions' fortunes.

Certainly the 74,000 fans who roundly booed England off the field at the end of yesterday's game were in no doubt that Robinson had taken this England side as far as he can.

Robinson was quick to shift the blame from himself after admitting that the side he picked had let the country down with a first-ever defeat by Argentina at Twickenham,

"I intend to still be the coach for the South Africa match next weekend," said a defiant Robinson. "I expect the Rugby Football Union to stand by me.

"This is the lowest point of my time in charge, but there will be discussions about the last two games with the senior management but that is normal.

"I have not come here to make any statements about my future no matter how many times it is dressed up and asked."

But last night bookmakers Ladbrokes slashed the odds on Robinson surviving until the Six Nations in the New Year.
