The Rugby Football Union (RFU) backs Steve Borthwick to remain England’s head coach and lead the team into the 2027 Rugby World Cup after completing a review following this year’s Six Nations. The review is described as thorough and honest, prompted by England finishing fifth in the Six Nations. Multiple reports state that the RFU’s decision follows an internal assessment of the team’s performance and direction, rather than a change in leadership. The outcome means Borthwick continues in post with a mandate focused on building toward the 2027 tournament. The reporting indicates the RFU’s position reflects confidence in Borthwick’s long-term plan and coaching approach, alongside the need to address issues highlighted by the Six Nations results. No details are provided in the supplied excerpts on specific staffing changes, targets, or immediate next steps, but the key point across outlets is that the RFU formally supports Borthwick’s tenure following the review.
