Pressure starting to build on England rugby boss Borthwick

|The Straits Times
LONDON - England coach Steve Borthwick leads his side into the Nov 16 match against world champions South Africa at Twickenham in desperate need of a win, as he bids to end a four-game losing streak.
The Rugby Football Union insists the former England captain retains its "100 per cent support" ahead of the side's first match against South Africa since the Springboks' dramatic 16-15 World Cup semi-final win in 2023.
That was the first of several narrow losses under Borthwick, whose men launched their November campaign with 24-22 and 42-37 Twickenham defeats by New Zealand and Australia respectively.
"When you lose two games, even if it's by a point or last-minute try, the pressure does start to build," said South Africa supremo Rassie Erasmus.
