Maro Itoje has expressed his confidence in Steve Borthwick, stating that England is capable of achieving remarkable results under his guidance, despite a disappointing Six Nations campaign. England's performance in the tournament was marred by four consecutive losses, including a historic defeat 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 in Borthwick and his coaching staff's ability to turn things around. "We have faith in our approach," Itoje said, adding that the team needs to come together, learn from their mistakes, and move forward positively.
Despite the setbacks, Itoje remains optimistic about England's potential, saying, "I have a lot of faith in this team, and I think we will go on to achieve great things."
