Andy Farrell looks likely to overlook England’s assistants when selecting his British & Irish Lions coaching staff, with Steve Borthwick revealing he has not been approached about members of the backroom team.
After England rounded off their Six Nations campaign with a record win against Wales to secure second place, Borthwick said he wanted as many of his players selected for the Lions tour as possible when Farrell names his squad on 8 May. Borthwick also endorsed Maro Itoje for the captaincy.
