Coach believes many have boosted chances for AustraliaBorthwick says Maro Itoje is potential Lions captain
Steve Borthwick believes several of his England players have enhanced their chances of touring with the British & Irish Lions this summer following their record 68-14 demolition of Wales in Cardiff. Borthwick says his team are developing fast and also backed his skipper, Maro Itoje, as a potential Lions captain.
Andy Farrell will not unveil his Lions squad until early May but Borthwick hopes England’s 10-try display has given the former some “good headaches” as he seeks the best mix of talent to face the Wallabies in a three-Test series in July and August.
