New England rugby captain Jamie George draws inspiration from the England cricket team’s recent success to uplift fans and rejuvenate Twickenham. Despite recent setbacks, George emphasizes the importance of entertaining rugby and restoring Twickenham’s reputation as a fortress.

Head coach Steve Borthwick believes England’s battle-hardened players have an advantage in the upcoming Six Nations citing their extensive game time and the competitiveness of the Premiership.

With Owen Farrell prioritizing his mental well-being, George steps up as captain, aiming to create a positive environment and ensure playing for England is the highlight of players’ careers. England faces Italy in their Six Nations opener before returning to Twickenham to face Wales.
