England hooker Jamie George has publicly backed coach Steve Borthwick ahead of an RFU review following the team's worst Six Nations finish. England's 48-46 defeat to France in Paris sealed fifth place in the table, with just one win over Wales in five games. The review will examine Borthwick's explanations for the team's four-game losing streak.

George praised Borthwick as 'one of the best coaches I've ever worked under' and said the squad supports him for the 2027 World Cup in Australia. The British and Irish Lions star emphasized Borthwick's 'unbelievable' impact on English rugby and his ability to create an 'excellent programme' that could lead to success. RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney previously backed Borthwick after the Italy loss.

The review process involves an anonymous panel of internal and external individuals, including former players, who will assess the campaign. Players and staff will be asked for their views on the collapse. The process is expected to last several weeks as the RFU determines whether Borthwick remains the right person to lead England forward despite recent struggles.
