England Coach Stands Firm Despite Losing Streak
England rugby coach Steve Borthwick has insisted he is still the right man for the job, despite his team’s poor form, which has seen them suffer five consecutive defeats. The World Champion South Africa side showed no mercy as they handed England their latest loss, continuing a difficult run for the national team that began in 2018 under former coach Eddie Jones.
While public confidence may be slipping, Borthwick revealed that the Rugby Football Union (RFU) has provided him with “absolute support,” and he remains confident that the team is “on the right path.” The coach emphasized that he is working closely with a “great group of coaches and players,” and expressed optimism about the future of the team.
Captain’s Perspective
Captain Jamie George echoed Borthwick’s sentiments, acknowledging that the team’s recent performances have not been good enough, but expressing hope that the fans can see the “endeavor and fight” in the team. George also stated that the team is “working very, very hard” and is a “very clever rugby team” that is striving to adapt to the different challenges posed by their opponents.
“We’re a very clever rugby team, and we’re working very, very hard to try and turn this around.”
