Itoje Backs Borthwick to Lead England to Greatness

Maro Itoje has expressed his unwavering support for Steve Borthwick, emphasizing that England is capable of achieving remarkable success under his guidance, despite a disappointing Six Nations campaign. England's Six Nations performance was marred by four consecutive defeats, including a historic loss to Italy. However, RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney has indicated that Borthwick will be given the opportunity to lead the team in the upcoming Nations Championship. Itoje acknowledges that England fell short of expectations, but he believes that Borthwick and his coaching staff have the ability to turn things around. "We have faith in our approach," Itoje stated. "Steve, along with his coaching team, is exceptional. We need to come together, learn from our mistakes, and move forward positively. Although our Six Nations campaign was not as successful as we had hoped, my confidence in the team remains unchanged. I firmly believe that this England team will go on to achieve great things; we just need to learn from our experiences and move forward."
