He was the director of rugby at [[Bristol Bears|Bristol]] until November 2016.<ref name="Andy Robinson: Bristol sack director of rugby">{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/37894094 | title=Andy Robinson: Bristol sack director of rugby | work=BBC Sport | access-date=7 November 2016}}</ref> He is the former head coach of [[Scotland national rugby union team|Scotland]] and [[England national rugby union team|England]]. From September 2019 to December 2022, he was the head coach of the [[Romania national rugby union team|Romanian national team]]. Robinson played as an [[Rugby union positions#6. Blindside flanker & 7. Openside flanker|openside flanker]] for [[Bath Rugby|Bath]], [[England national rugby union team|England]] and the [[British & Irish Lions]]. He was head coach of England from October 2004 until November 2006, then coach of [[Edinburgh Rugby]] and joint coach of [[Scotland A national rugby union team|Scotland A]] between October 2007 and June 2009. On 4 June 2009 Robinson was named the new head coach of Scotland. He resigned on 25 November 2012 following a 21β15 defeat at home against Tonga. ==Playing career== Born in Taunton, Somerset, Robinson made his England debut against [[Australia national rugby union team|Australia]] on 12 June 1988, and gained eight caps, playing his last match on 18 November 1995 against [[South Africa national rugby union team|South Africa]]. Robinson was quite small for a back row forward, being only 5 ft 9in (1.75 m), and weighing 13 st 12 lb (88 kg). He played 6 non-international games for the [[British & Irish Lions]] on their [[1989 British Lions tour to Australia|1989 tour]] of Australia. ==Teaching== Whilst playing for Bath, Robinson taught mathematics, physical education and rugby at [[Writhlington School]], [[King Edward's School, Bath]] and later [[Colston's Collegiate School]] in Bristol, where he and Alan Martinovic masterminded the school's [[Daily Mail Cup]] wins in 1995 and 1996. 'Robbo' then left to play rugby professionally with [[Bath Rugby|Bath]]. ==Coaching== Robinson later coached Bath before being appointed forwards coach of [[England national rugby union team|England]] and was deputy to [[Clive Woodward]] with the World Cup-winning England side in 2003. When Woodward resigned from the role of England coach in September 2004, Robinson was named as acting coach before being confirmed in the position. He was also a coach on the Lions tours to [[2001 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia|Australia in 2001]] and [[2005 British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand|New Zealand in 2005]]. Robinson won just nine of his twenty two matches in charge of England.

his stint ended after a string of disappointing results, culminating in defeat by Tonga on 24 November 2012 which was followed a day later by his resignation. === International matches as head coach
