Borthwick says he understands frustration of England fans‘There’s going to be another week of disruption’
England have acknowledged their discipline needs to improve significantly if they are to be remotely competitive at this year’s Rugby World Cup. Billy Vunipola is facing a ban after his red card in his side’s 29-10 defeat in Ireland and Steve Borthwick admitted he was “incredibly disappointed” by the result.
Borthwick also said he understood the frustration of England fans after another below-par display. “I empathise with the supporters,” the head coach said. “We wanted more progress on the pitch than we saw. Against the best side in the world we needed 15 players on the pitch.
