UGO Monye has backed Steve Borthwick's stuttering England side to bounce back from their underwhelming Six Nations campaign and pose a genuine threat at this year's World Cup. Borthwick's team finished fourth after winning just two of their five games in the Championship, with a humbling 53-10 defeat against France at Twickenham setting alarm bells ringing with less than six months to go until their World Cup opener against Argentina in Marseille. Ad But Monye, who played 14 times for England between 2008 and 2012, believes there is still plenty of time for new boss Borthwick to get things right after being encouraged by what he saw in England's 29-16 defeat to Grand Slam champions Ireland.
Hannah Botterman is backing Twickenham to become a fortress ahead of the Red Roses' hotly-anticipated showdown with France at the end of the 2023 TikTok Women's Six Nations.

World No. 9 and fifth seed H S Prannoy made a stunning second-round exit from the Swiss Open Super 300 badminton tournament after losing in straight games against unseeded Christo Popov of France on Thursday. Prannoy, favourite coming into the contest, looked a pale shadow of himself in front of world No. 40 Popov as he failed to give any fight, losing 8-21, 8-21 to bow out of the men's singles event. It turned out to be a bad in office for Indian shuttlers as Kidambi Srikanth was the first to crash out on Thursday, losing to Hong Kong's Cheuk Yiu Lee.
