England coach Steve Borthwick plans to conduct a comprehensive review and address the team’s performance following their defeat to Scotland. Maro Itoje attributes the loss to a deviation from the gameplan describing it as “tip-tap rugby” and “hot potato” play.

England faces a challenging Six Nations scenario aiming to break a trend of finishing with two wins and three defeats for the fourth consecutive year. Borthwick intends to have an honest conversation with players about the shift in their approach during the match.

Despite painful experiences, he acknowledges the need for team development and anticipates bumps in the road.
