Kevin Sinfield says Leicester boss Steve Borthwick is as good a coach as he has come across in all his time in rugby.
Borthwick, widely seen as heir apparent to Eddie Jones’ England throne 18 months from now, takes Tigers to Twickenham to face his former club Saracens in Saturday’s Premiership Final.
He does so having transformed the fortunes of England’s biggest rugby club this season from also-rans to top dogs.
