Steve Borthwick has been named new England men’s rugby head coach on a five-year contract to replace Eddie Jones, who was sacked earlier this month.
A former England captain during his playing days, Borthwick has marked himself out as one of the sport’s bright young coaches in recent times. The 43-year-old led Leicester Tigers to their first Gallagher Premiership title since 2013 earlier this year, having joined the club after they finished 11th in the 2019-20 campaign and will now have the England reins until 2027.
