England Rugby announced it will extend head coach Steve Borthwick's contract beyond the 2028 Six Nations, aiming to provide stability and remove uncertainty about his future ahead of and during next year's Rugby World Cup. The decision comes as England look to build continuity in preparation for the tournament. The extension is seen as a vote of confidence in Borthwick's leadership, allowing him to plan long-term for the squad's development through the World Cup cycle.
