Itoje Backs Borthwick to Lead England to Success

Maro Itoje has expressed his confidence in Steve Borthwick, believing that England can accomplish remarkable feats under his guidance, despite a disappointing Six Nations campaign. England's performance 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 did not meet expectations, but he has faith in Borthwick and his coaching staff to turn things around. "We have trust in our approach," Itoje stated, praising Borthwick and his team. "We need to come together, learn from our mistakes, and move forward positively. Although our Six Nations campaign was not as successful as we had hoped, my confidence in the team remains unwavering. I firmly believe that this England team will achieve great things; we just need to learn from our experiences and move forward."
