Steve Borthwick has revealed his secret regret - and vowed to ensure England's rugby team learns from mistakes he says he made.
The coach brought in to replace Eddie Jones chose the official Six Nations launch in London to admit for the first time dissatisfaction over his playing career. Not for reasons of self-pity but to explain the very personal motivation fuelling his drive to make England great again.
“I want to help these young guys not make the mistakes I made,” he said. “When they’re old and have no hair like me, I want them to not have regrets.
