Steve Borthwick needs help to turn the tide with England in the form of greater experience in his coaching staff â and the RFU should be insisting he gets it. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and Borthwick should be looking to surround himself with more experience off his own back, but his employers should be ensuring it happens anyway if he doesnât.
It sort of pains me to say it from a Leicester point of view, and hopefully they are in the process of tying him down to a longer term deal, but someone like Michael Cheika would fit the bill perfectly as someone who has been there, done it and got the t-shirt.
You canât put a price on the experience he has and England are making the sort of mistakes that show that is one of the main areas they are lacking in the environment at the moment. Whether Cheika would be interested is another matter.
