Itoje Backs Borthwick to Lead England to Greatness

Maro Itoje has reiterated his backing for England head coach Steve Borthwick, emphasizing the team's potential for future success under his guidance. Despite a disappointing Six Nations campaign, which saw England finish fifth after four consecutive losses, Itoje remains optimistic about the team's prospects. The England captain attributed the team's poor performance to a lack of cohesion, but expressed his faith in Borthwick and the coaching staff to turn things around. With the inaugural Nations Championship approaching, Itoje believes the team can learn from their mistakes and move forward in a positive direction. He stated, 'We have a strong belief in our approach, and with great coaches like Steve, Richard Wigglesworth, Kevin Sinfield, Joe Shaw, and Lee Blackett, I'm confident we can achieve something special.'
