Borthwick backs his No.10 to be ‘brilliant coach’
STEVE BORTHWICK recalled George Ford for England's showdown with New Zealand - then predicted the No.10 could have his job one day.
The Sale fly-half returns for Saturday's clash against the All Blacks, to win his 104th cap, with Borthwick backing his big game knowhow over Fin Smiths.
Ford missed a penalty and botched a drop-goal which handed New Zealand a 24-22 win at Twickenham last year but has been in top form for England this term.
The 32-year-old steered England to a 25-7 win over Australia a fortnight ago - when he switched England's tactics in the second half - before Smith got the nod for the 38-18 win over Fiji.
