Steve Borthwick sets title goal with eyes on Six Nations decider in France

England have France’s crown in their sights as Steve Borthwick plots a Six Nations title collision in Paris for a team he believes are only scratching the surface of their potential.

For the first time since Borthwick took charge at the end of 2022, England are viewed as genuine contenders to win the Championship, having risen to third in the global rankings on the back of 11 successive Test victories.

The growing confidence in Borthwick’s men is reflected in the words of their head coach, who, while respecting the obstacles along the way, is targeting a decisive showdown with France in the climax to the tournament on March 14th.
