Maro Itoje has expressed his confidence in Steve Borthwick, stating that England is capable of achieving remarkable success under his guidance, despite a disappointing Six Nations performance. England's campaign was marred by four consecutive defeats, including a historic loss to Italy. However, RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney has indicated that Borthwick will be given the opportunity to redeem himself during the summer's Nations Championship.
Itoje acknowledges that England fell short of expectations, but believes in Borthwick and his coaching staff's ability to turn things around. "We have faith in our approach," Itoje said. "Steve, along with his coaches, is exceptional. We just need to regroup, learn from our mistakes, and move forward positively." Itoje remains optimistic about England's future, saying, "My belief in this team hasn't wavered.
I firmly believe we will go on to achieve great things. It's about learning from our errors and progressing."
