Steve Borthwick needs time, like Ruben Amorim at Man Utd – England attack coach - Head coach Borthwick’s future is being questioned following a run of seven defeats in nine Tests and seven in a row against top-tier opposition.

Wigglesworth claims he can see signs Ruben Amorim's side are improving and the Red Rose squad are doing the same.

Punxsutawney Phil viewed his own shadow and – as per the local traditions in Gobbler’s Knob, Pennsylvania – predicted six more weeks of gloomy winter, but Groundhog Day came a day early to England supporters in the Aviva Stadium.

Steve Borthwick desperately needs to turn the tide of bad results after England's Six Nations campaign got off to a losing start.

Steve Borthwick made sure to focus on the positives following England's 27-22 loss to Ireland on the opening weekend of the Six Nations.

There is no need to restate England’s recent win/loss ratio or the overall record of its head coach, Steve Borthwick. They are not good and, if they continue to lose, he and they will not be able to withstand the storm of public and media criticism;
