Steve Borthwick has demanded England forget the past and come out fighting when he takes charge for the first time.
Twickenham is sold out for the Six Nations opener against Scotland and the new boss said: “I want the players fighting, getting to the next battle, bringing all the strengths they have into the England shirt on that pitch.
“I can’t rewrite history, neither can the players, all we can do is influence what is going to happen in the future.”
