England coach Stuart Lancaster has been impressed by Chris Robshaw so far to confirm him as captain for the rest of the Six Nations.
The 25-year-old had been given the role on a temporary basis - the first two rounds of matches in this year's championship - following the transition from Martin Johnson's reign and Lewis Moody's retirement.
The Red Rose of course have made it two wins out of two in those games, beating Scotland 13-6 at Murrayfield before edging out Italy 19-15 in Rome.
Despite having only one cap before the tournament began, Lancaster has been impressed with Robshaw and his leadership qualities - and is happy for it to continue.
"Chris has stepped into the role well and led a new team in two tough away fixtures," the interim boss told Sky Sports.
"He is one of many leaders we could have chosen against Scotland and Italy but he has shown on and off the field the qualities required to captain a side.
"We feel it is right to make a call now that Chris will lead England for the rest of the Six Nations."
England do have home advantage next time out when they take on Wales on February 25 at Twickenham, with both teams level on four points after their two matches.
