Maro Itoje has voiced his unwavering support for Steve Borthwick, emphasizing that England is capable of achieving remarkable feats under his guidance, despite a disappointing Six Nations campaign. England's hopes were dashed as they finished fifth, suffering four consecutive defeats, including a historic loss to Italy.
Despite this, 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 stated, praising Borthwick and his team. "We just need to come together, learn from our mistakes, and move forward with positivity. Although our Six Nations performance was not what we had hoped for, my confidence in this team remains unshaken.
I firmly believe that this England team will go on to accomplish great things; we simply need to learn from our errors and press on."
