Itoje Backs Borthwick to Lead England to Greatness
Despite a disappointing Six Nations campaign, Maro Itoje remains confident in Steve Borthwick's leadership, believing England can achieve remarkable success under his guidance. England's poor performance in the Six Nations, which included a historic loss to Italy, has raised questions about Borthwick's future. However, RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney has suggested that Borthwick will be given the opportunity to redeem himself during the summer's Nations Championship fixtures. Itoje, the England captain, has expressed his faith in Borthwick and the coaching staff, stating that they have the capability to turn the team's fortunes around. "We have trust in our approach," Itoje said. "Steve, along with the rest of the coaching team, is exceptional. We need to come together, learn from our mistakes, and move forward positively. "Our Six Nations performance was not what we had hoped for, but my confidence in the team remains unchanged. I firmly believe that this England team will go on to accomplish great things; we just need to learn from our errors and progress. "I have unwavering faith in this team, and I am convinced that we will achieve something special in the future."
