James Haskell has backed Steve Borthwick as "the right man for the job" as England prepare for the conclusion of the inaugural Nations Championship in November.
Former England international James Haskell has backed head coach Steve Borthwick and praised rising star Henry Pollock ahead of November's Nations Championship fixtures. Haskell stated that Borthwick remains the right man to guide England into the 2027 Rugby World Cup, despite a poor 2026 Six Nations showing. England are scheduled to face Australia, Japan, and New Zealand at Twickenham before the tournament's Finals Weekend.
Haskell emphasized that England's dip in form was due to fine margins in converting opportunities rather than an absence of talent. He also voiced strong excitement for Northampton Saints back-row Henry Pollock, claiming the young forward brings rare "X-factor" and personality to the squad.
