Olympics will be a great spectacle - Robinson

However, the 41-year-old former winger admits to one regret – that rugby returned to the Olympic Games too late for him to play.

With his electric pace and dazzling footwork Robinson would have been pure box-office gold at the rugby sevens event in Rio this August.

“You might meet players who have won Six Nations, British and Irish Lions tours and World Cups but the Olympics will be a first for players,” the HSBC Ambassador said.

“If only I was 20 years younger because I would love to have the chance to win an Olympic medal.”
