Despite a disappointing Six Nations campaign, Maro Itoje is confident that England can achieve great things under Steve Borthwick's leadership. England's poor performance saw them finish fifth, with four consecutive defeats, including a historic loss to Italy. However, RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney has given Borthwick the opportunity to redeem himself in the upcoming Nations Championship.
Itoje believes that Borthwick and his coaching staff have the ability to turn things around, saying 'We believe in what we're doing' and expressing his faith in the team's potential to do 'special things'. Itoje acknowledges that the team fell short of expectations but is optimistic about their future prospects, stating that they just need to 'learn the lessons and move positively forward'.
