Borthwick denies feeling pressure to end losing streak
The Guardian
|November 15, 2024
Steve Borthwick has insisted he is well equipped to block out the pressure of England's current plight after Rassie Erasmus suggested he is under the pump and may feel like he "has a gun against his head".
A number of ex-England stalwarts, including Clive Woodward and Will Carling, have taken aim at Borthwick after Saturday's last-gasp defeat by Australia extended his side's losing run to four. He retains the Rugby Football Union's "100% support" but England could slip to eighth in the world rankings should they fail to arrest their losing streak against Erasmus's Springboks tomorrow in the first meeting between the sides since last year's ill-tempered World Cup semi-final.
Borthwick has made four changes to his side to face South Africa, recalling Freddie Steward at full-back - due to his aerial "super strength" - and the scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet, after conceding that World Rugby's directive to clamp down on "escorting" is leading to more kicking and more scrums, before saying "you don't want to turn rugby union into Aussie rules".
