Coventry Telegraph
|March 06, 2026
ELLIOT Daly admits England’s revamped backline must hit the ground running against Italy in Rome on Saturday.
Head coach Steve Borthwick has responded to the conclusive losses against Scotland and Ireland that brought an end to England’s Guinness Six Nations title hopes by making an unprecedented 12 changes, three of them positional.
The radical selection fired a warning shot to the squad that recent performances have fallen below the required standard.
The overhaul includes a whole new backline with Daly making his first appearance of the Championship and the veteran fullback insists they must seize their opportunity.
