Steve Borthwick Faces Challenges with England Rugby Squad Amid Coaching Changes

Borthwick emphasizes stability and continuity in team selection while navigating recent coaching staff departures.

Henry Slade's return to the England squad highlights Borthwick's focus on stability, despite his recent injury and ongoing discussions with Exeter's coach.
Borthwick is dealing with the unexpected exits of key coaches Felix Jones and Aled Walters, which have raised questions about the working environment in the England setup.
The England head coach is attempting to maintain a steady approach, contrasting with his predecessor Eddie Jones's more unpredictable methods.
With Alex Mitchell likely sidelined due to injury, Borthwick is considering Ben Spencer, Harry Randall, and Jack van Poortvliet as potential replacements for the upcoming matches.
Jamie George retains the captaincy as Borthwick aims for on-field success in the autumn internationals against formidable opponents like New Zealand and South Africa.
