Saracens and Harlequins senior servants have more than earned their send-offs
After Chris Robshaw played his final match for Harlequins at the Stoop last Monday, his club and England colleague Joe Marler posted on Twitter an opening line from a Walt Whitman poem in tribute: “O captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done.”
Not quite, because Robshaw has a final hurrah in the multicoloured jersey on Sunday. The opponents are fitting, if not the venue, because Leicester were the opponents when Harlequins won the Premiership title for the only time in 2012 and a few survivors from that sun-drenched afternoon will be sprinkled across an empty Welford Road.
