Mike Brown believes teams are no longer scared of England after they lost their "tough and nasty edge" under former head coach Eddie Jones.
Jones was sacked in December after England just five of their 12 Tests in 2022 and new coach Steve Borthwick admitted after his first game in charge, a 29-23 loss to Scotland in the Six Nations, that he had taken over a side that "weren't good at anything".
"I've been frank from day one in saying there's a lot of work to do," he admitted. "When I looked at the team in the autumn, when I measured the team and got all the data for the team, we weren't good at anything. It was as frank as that."
