Despite a disappointing Six Nations campaign, England captain Maro Itoje remains committed to Steve Borthwick, believing the team can achieve remarkable success under his guidance. England's poor performance saw them finish fifth, with four consecutive defeats, including a historic loss to Italy. However, Itoje is optimistic about the team's potential, citing the coaching staff's expertise and his own faith in the players. With Borthwick set to lead the team in the upcoming Nations Championship, Itoje is confident that they can learn from their mistakes and move forward positively.
'We believe in what we're doing,' Itoje stated, praising the coaching staff, including Steve Borthwick, Richard Wigglesworth, Kevin Sinfield, Joe Shaw, and Lee Blackett. Itoje's unwavering support for Borthwick and the team reflects his conviction that England can overcome their current challenges and go on to accomplish 'special things' in the future.
