DON'T SACK BORTHWICK IF WE FAIL, SAYS TINDALL

DON'T SACK BORTHWICK IF WE FAIL, SAYS TINDALL

MIKE TINDALL has insisted the RFU should not sack Steve Borthwick, even if England bomb out of the Rugby World Cup.

World Cup-winner Tindall blasted the RFU for handing Borthwick a "hand grenade" for this global tournament in France, after appointing the former England captain as head coach in December.

England enter the World Cup at their lowest-ever world ranking of eighth and off the back of three defeats in four warm-up matches.

Borthwick (left) and his coaches continue to maintain there are no massive concerns and that there is still the chance to turn recent form on its head in Saturday's crucial Pool D opener against Argentina in Marseille.

The Pumas are now ranked above England, however, and boast a hungry, physical pack, astute playmakers and razor-sharp finishers out wide.
