Head coach Steve Borthwick urges his young England players not to “stay in the shadows” as they look to make history this summer.
Borthwick led England to third place in the Six Nations earlier this year and a third place finish at the 2023 World CupHead coach Steve Borthwick has urged his young England players not to “stay in the shadows” as they look to make history this summer.But while there is an experienced core in the forwards, there is a green look to the backline with a handful of big names retired or injured.Borthwick added: “I don’t want players in the shadows.
“Those experiences can be transferable straight into the Test match arena. And that’s what I will be looking to do with this group of players.” “Picking up from where it left off, that’s a real challenge. I’ve gone on record talking about consistency of selection and cohesion and partnerships, and players that have played together a lot, which comes from the club game because you just don’t have time to get it at international level.”
“To have two fly-halves with that level of talent, with both as hungry as they are is brilliant. I’m really looking forward to working with them.”While a swathe of experience has been lost from the squad, Borthwick has been able to welcome back established flanker Tom Curry, who made his long-awaited injury return in Sale’s semi-final defeat by Bath.
