Nick Easter has urged England to create a 'destructive force' by pairing Steffon Armitage with captain Chris Robshaw for their assault on this year's World Cup. Former England number eight Easter believes head coach Stuart Lancaster must 'go down that route' and end Armitage's Test exile to boost the host nation's hopes of glory. England have continued to overlook Armitage since his 2011 move to Toulon, sticking to their rule of not selecting overseas-based stars.
