Steve Borthwick Criticized as 'Tall Eddie Jones' by Former Leicester Boss

Geordan Murphy questions Borthwick's leadership style, citing poor interpersonal skills and comparisons to his predecessor Eddie Jones.

Geordan Murphy, former Leicester Tigers director of rugby, described England head coach Steve Borthwick as a 'tall Eddie Jones' with limited people skills.
Murphy claimed Borthwick explicitly stated he did not want to be friends in a professional setting, creating a challenging work dynamic.
The criticism highlights alleged discontent within the England camp and coaching staff turnover since Borthwick's appointment.
Murphy contrasted Borthwick's single-minded, fact-focused approach with Richard Wigglesworth, whom he praised for higher emotional intelligence.
England faces France this Saturday, with pressure mounting following a poor recent record of seven losses in nine games.
