“I’m struggling with being disliked by some people because of the negative side of the wag label,” she said. The abuse is believed to have been motivated by Robshaw’s failed attempt to secure a match-winning try in the final moments of England’s game against Wales in the Rugby World Cup.
England face Australia at Twickenham on Saturday in a match that the host nation must win to remain in the Rugby World Cup. The captain opted to kick a penalty into touch, handing England a line-out deep in Wales’ half with minutes to go, rather than opt for a three-point kick that would have tied the game.
Kerslake said she had not discussed with Robshaw his decision to seek a match-winning try against Wales rather than kick for a draw. His failure to score the try caused England to lose the match. “I’m struggling with being disliked by some people because of the negative side of the wag label,” Kerslake said, adding: “When we’re at home we try to keep things mundane. He doesn’t talk to me about singing and I don’t talk to him about his rugby.”
