England get their Six Nations campaign underway on February 4 as they face Scotland at Twickenham hoping to regain the Calcutta Cup.
Steve Borthwick will be hopeful of his first match in charge will result in victory to begin their World Cup year in positive fashion after a disappointing 2022. Eddie Jones was sacked after England were booed off the Twickenham pitch in November following a disappointing 13-27 defeat.
Borthwick will now look to build upon the work done by Jones to prepare for this autumn's World Cup in France and will get his first and only chance to assess his squad in the Six Nations. He will be grateful for a relatively simple start to the tournament, with home fixtures against Scotland (February 4) and Italy (February 11) before tougher tests.
