Coach to fly to New Zealand for reconnaissance trip on MondayRFU contracts to be finalised to help establish player availability
Steve Borthwick will fly to New Zealand on Monday for a reconnaissance mission as he begins plotting England’s summer assault on the All Blacks – just 48 hours after the end of their Six Nations campaign.
Borthwick travels to New Zealand buoyed by the manner in which England finished the tournament – even in defeat against France on Saturday night – after his players came so close to backing up the thrilling win against Ireland with a victory for the ages in Lyon.
