England's Itoje Optimistic About Team's Future Despite Disappointing Six Nations Campaign
England captain Maro Itoje remains upbeat about the team's prospects, saying they "are going places" despite a dismal Six Nations performance. The team's head coach, Steve Borthwick, also expressed confidence in his ability to lead the team forward, stating that he is the "right man" for the job. England's recent loss to France was marked by a strong performance, with the team scoring seven tries, but ultimately falling short due to a last-minute penalty. Itoje attributed the team's struggles to valuable learning experiences, emphasizing the need to start strong in Test rugby. Borthwick's future is uncertain, with an RFU review pending, but the team's improved showing against France may have bought him some time. England's pack demonstrated significant improvement, dominating France upfront, and the team is determined to use their disappointing tournament as motivation to come back stronger.
