Danny Care backs Borthwick and talks up England World Cup chances

Scrum-half says Steve Borthwick can be ‘very successful’

BACKING BORTHS: England's Danny Care.

Danny Care believes England can use their current turmoil to their advantage and spring a surprise at next year’s World Cup, insisting that Steve Borthwick would be “very successful” as Eddie Jones’s replacement.

With just five competitive matches before England begin their World Cup campaign, Borthwick would be up against it to turn a side who won five of their 12 matches in 2022 into contenders. Care, who was left out by Jones this autumn after earning a recall over the summer, said Ireland and France are among the nations out in front.
