When he was asked if, as a proud Englishman, it hurt him to see the team struggle of late - with six losses in their last 12 Tests - Borthwick said: 'The thing that strikes me is how much the players are hurting. 'I was the guy who said, at 14, 'I want to play for England'. I really care for the people I coach. We hadn't won in Europe in 20-odd attempts, and I made a small difference. 'I used to set myself ridiculous targets on the rowing machine or whatever. 'I think so, but it's not going to be an overnight fix,' he added. Borthwick can't help with that, but he promised to find an England-themed toy to sit next to the tiger on seven-year-old Chase's bed. But does he have the players for that?

"Sport, again, is slightly different to business. "As a leader and coach, I love winning. We've got a lots of work to do to get to that point, because we're behind, but we're going to do that work. We want to ensure we have a supporter base that is proud of their team. "This England rugby team has so much power to influence. And that's what I'm going to do here. "There's plenty to do.
