RFU backs Steve Borthwick to lead England through 2027 World Cup

Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026 · The Guardian

England's Rugby Football Union has confirmed it will retain Steve Borthwick as head coach following a review into the team's disastrous Six Nations campaign.

The decision comes despite England suffering their worst campaign in 50 years. RFU chairman Bill Sweeney noted that improvement is not a simple answer. The union believes sticking with the current coaching staff is the optimal path forward to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, choosing continuity over a mid-term change. akupunkturabielsko.pl
