Itoje Expresses Confidence in Borthwick's England

England rugby captain Maro Itoje has voiced his support for head coach Steve Borthwick, emphasizing the team's potential for greatness under his guidance. Despite a dismal Six Nations campaign that saw England finish fifth with four consecutive defeats, including a historic loss to Italy, Itoje remains optimistic about the team's future. With the RFU indicating that Borthwick will lead the team through the summer's Nations Championship, Itoje believes that the coaching staff can reverse the team's fortunes. He acknowledged that England fell short of expectations, having entered the tournament on a strong 11-Test winning streak, but expressed faith in Borthwick and his staff, including Richard Wigglesworth, Kevin Sinfield, Joe Shaw, and Lee Blackett. Itoje stressed the need for the team to learn from their mistakes and move forward positively, reiterating his confidence in the team's ability to achieve 'special things' under Borthwick's leadership.
