The Rugby Football Union has decided to retain Steve Borthwick and his coaching staff following a review of England's disastrous Six Nations campaign.

The RFU confirmed that sacking the head coach is not the optimal solution after the team suffered four defeats, their worst performance in 50 years. betsport.cv

Union chief Bill Sweeney stated that improvement requires a complex approach rather than a "simple answer." Borthwick will now guide the squad towards the 2027 World Cup in Australia.
