RFU support coach as they look to ‘long-term programme’Borthwick contracted until 2027 World Cup
Steve Borthwick is expected to retain the support of the Rugby Football Union and keep his job as England’s head coach even if his side bomb out of the World Cup in the pool stages, the Guardian understands.
England begin their campaign against Argentina in Marseille on Saturday with expectations at an all time low after losing three of their four warm-up matches and five of their past six outings. Under Borthwick, England have won only three of nine games, shipping 30 tries along the way and go into Saturday’s match with the Pumas as underdogs.
