The 58-year-old Englishman had been preparing his squad to take part in Rugby World Cup 2023 in France next year.

There they will be in Pool B alongside Scotland, but Robinson will not be with them having said: “I feel that I have taken the Romanian team as far as I can after a series of disappointing results in the last six months on and off the field.”
