CALM GEORGE TIPPED TO BE A GREAT COACH
HEAD coach Steve Borthwick recalled George Ford to the England lineup - then predicted the fly-half could have his job one day.
Ford returns at 10 for Saturday's clash with New Zealand, to win his 104th cap, with Borthwick backing his big game knowhow over Fin Smith's.
The Sale man missed a penalty and botched a drop goal attempt which handed New Zealand a 24-22 win at Twickenham last year but has been England's form fly-half this season.
Ford, now 32, steered England to a 25-7 win against Australia a fortnight ago, when he switched England's tactics in the second half, before Smith got the nod for the 38-18 win against Fiji last weekend.
But with the pivotal game of the autumn coming, Ford has been given the keys to No. 10 and Borthwick has backed his rugby brain to see England through - and get him a seat in the coaches’ box when he retires.
