Maro Itoje has voiced his unwavering support for Steve Borthwick, emphasizing that England is capable of achieving remarkable feats under his guidance, despite a dismal performance in the Six Nations. England's campaign was marred by four consecutive losses, including a historic defeat to Italy. However, RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney has hinted that Borthwick will be given the opportunity to redeem himself during the upcoming Nations Championship.

Nevertheless, he remains optimistic about the team's potential under Borthwick's leadership, citing the coach's exceptional abilities and those of his staff. 'We have faith in our approach,' Itoje stated, expressing his confidence in the team's capacity to learn from their mistakes and move forward positively. Despite the setbacks, Itoje's enthusiasm for the team's future remains unshaken, and he is convinced that they will go on to accomplish great things.
