England's Austin Healey says he feels no pressure stepping into Jason Robinson's fullback role and in typical fashion asked on hearing the news 'Am I captain too?'

The Leicester star will play full-back for England against Wales in Saturday's Lloyds TSB Six Nations clash at Twickenham in place of the injured Robinson, who damaged stomach muscles playing for Sale against Wasps.

The appearance by Healey at No.15 completes his travels around the international back line following appearances in every other position, albeit for a matter of minutes at inside centre and outside centre against South Africa and Italy respectively.

As it is Healey has no more than 10 club games at full-back to his name throughout his career, so he faces a daunting prospect to understudy for the most thrilling runner in world rugby.

"It's not that much different nowadays," said Healey, who last played full-back for Leicester two weeks ago against Northampton.

"Ten years ago it would have been a big ask. But we've got two huge, fast wingers in the back three and we're more of a unit these days than set positions."

Healey is relishing the challenge of living up to the 'Robinson roar' - a Twickenham phenomenon rugby fans have taken to their hearts over the past 15 months.

"Jason has been exceptional since he has made the number 15 shirt his own. But I've got an opportunity and I'll try to be as exciting as Jason," said Healey.

"We're both roughly about the same size, so I hope I can duck under as many tackles as he does. He has been enlightening with his footwork and speed since he arrived.

"When players are fully fit and they are able to dance around like he does they are very exciting."

"I hope I can do enough to warrant remaining in the side," said Healey.

"That is every England player's concern. There were a lot of players sat in the room last night when Clive was naming that team thinking 'Am I going to be in it?'

"A lot of players were saying they'd not been that nervous for a long time, which is a good thing.

"It's not good that we lost against France, but the players are aware that other England players are able to play in their position.

"Everyone's a bit on edge. Everybody hates losing - especially when all of a sudden you're acclaimed as world champions, then the following week you're all losers according to certain people.

"Losing games motivates anybody. You want to bounce back, and we certainly want to do that. Individually everybody has learned a lesson.

"We've lost four games out of the last 24 - they've all been crucial, unfortunately."
