Steve Borthwick has distanced his England from the Eddie Jones regime damningly described by Danny Care by revealing he has an open door policy and encourages collaboration from his players.

Care wrote in his autobiography, which is being serialised in The Times, that everybody was "bloody terrified" of "despot" Jones, who was England's head coach from 2015 to 2022.
