The Rugby Football Union confirmed today that head coach Steve Borthwick will sign a new three‑year deal, cementing his place at the helm of England’s national side. Borthwick’s tenure has seen a dramatic resurgence, highlighted by a series of hard‑fought victories against southern‑hemisphere powerhouses and a revitalised forward pack.
RFU chairman Bill Beaumont praised Borthwick’s “strategic acumen and player‑first philosophy,” adding that continuity at the top is essential as the team eyes the upcoming Six Nations and the 2027 World Cup. The extension also includes a performance‑based bonus structure tied to World Cup qualification milestones.
