Inggris dikalahkan 29-23 oleh Skotlandia dalam pertandingan pembuka Enam Negara mereka sebelum mengalahkan Italia 31-14 pada hari Minggu; Steve Borthwick ingin memberantas masalah jelang pertandingan melawan Wales, Irlandia, dan Prancis menjelang Piala Dunia akhir tahun ini

Steve Borthwick akan segera menyelidiki kebiasaan memudar Inggris yang telah terbukti dalam dua pertandingannya yang bertanggung jawab, mengetahui hal itu dapat membuat para pemainnya menyesal.
Inggris membuang keunggulan 20-12 dengan setengah jam tersisa dari pertandingan pembuka Guinness Six Nations mereka melawan Skotlandia dan juga unggul satu poin menjelang 10 menit terakhir, sebelum akhirnya kalah 29-23.
Sisi Borthwick juga kalah di babak kedua 14-12 melawan Italia, dengan ketegangan menggantung di udara Twickenham sampai Henry Arundell menghasilkan penyelesaian yang apik di menit ke-71 untuk memadamkan pemberontakan Azzurri.

Inggris menghadapi perjalanan berat ke Cardiff berikutnya diikuti oleh bentrokan dengan dua tim terbaik dunia di Prancis dan Irlandia, dengan Borthwick membuat prioritas untuk mengidentifikasi mengapa mereka rentan di babak kedua.
Dengan delapan poin saya berharap untuk memenangkan pertandingan itu melawan Skotlandia, kata Borthwick, yang menggantikan Eddie Jones yang dipecat pada bulan Desember. Ada satu poin lagi kami unggul empat poin dan kami membiarkannya tergelincir.
“Ketika kami bergerak maju dengan tim ini, seperti yang kami latih dan pahami, kami akan membahas hal-hal itu sepenuhnya sehingga kami tidak membiarkan peluang itu hilang. Anda tidak dapat memundurkan waktu. Saya berbicara tentang penyesalan saya sebagai pemain dan Saya tidak ingin para pemain ini memiliki penyesalan.

“Kami membiarkan satu kesalahan melawan Skotlandia dan kami memastikan kami sepenuhnya mempelajarinya untuk belajar darinya. Melawan Italia, ada periode di akhir permainan di mana kami membiarkan momentum menjauh dari kami. Saya benar-benar perlu memahami mengapa itu terjadi dan bagaimana caranya itu terjadi.
“Kami tidak bisa terus membiarkan tim memiliki momentum di akhir pertandingan melawan kami. Jelas kami membiarkan Italia keluar dari wilayah mereka, seperti yang terjadi melawan Skotlandia. Sistem membutuhkan waktu.”

Inggris ‘sedikit di belakang’ Irlandia dan Prancis
Pada hari sebelum kelompok Inggris menggertak rekan Italia mereka, Irlandia dan Prancis bertarung dalam perebutan gelar seismik di Dublin yang menampilkan waktu permainan bola selama 46 menit.
Pasukan Andy Farrell keluar sebagai pemenang dan ditakdirkan untuk tiba di Piala Dunia akhir tahun ini sebagai tim peringkat satu dunia, sementara Prancis memiliki bakat untuk memastikan kemunduran itu hanya sementara.
“Itu adalah pertandingan Uji yang luar biasa,” kata Borthwick, setelah menonton pertandingan tersebut. “Standar tim-tim itu sangat fenomenal. Jika Anda dapat menggunakan siklus empat tahun ini dengan sangat baik, Anda seharusnya berada dalam situasi yang baik sekarang dan memang begitu. Jika Anda melihat mereka kuat. Kami sedikit di belakang mereka.
“Saya tidak bisa memberi tahu Anda berapa banyak, tetapi kami berada di belakang mereka. Saya tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa tentang di mana mereka berada, tetapi kami akan bekerja sangat keras untuk mengejar ketinggalan secepat mungkin.”
Borthwick mewarisi tim yang mengalami tahun 2022 yang suram, mengakibatkan Jones dicopot sebagai pelatih kepala, dan dia menegaskan tidak ada jalur cepat menuju kesuksesan.
Will Greenwood mengatakan lebih banyak waktu dan kerja diperlukan untuk Steve Borthwick untuk meningkatkan kualitas keseluruhan timnya
“Kami akan melakukan yang terbaik yang kami bisa untuk menjadi sebaik mungkin. Ini adalah proses pembangunan kembali,” katanya. “Saya merasa orang-orang menyadari ini adalah pembangunan kembali, saya merasa mereka menyadari ada banyak hal yang harus dilakukan di sini dan kami perlu membangun beberapa kekuatan di sini.
“Para pemain telah melalui masa-masa sulit dan saya meminta mereka untuk melakukan sesuatu dengan cara yang berbeda dan turun ke lapangan dan membawa kekuatan mereka. Saya merasa bahwa melawan Italia mereka mulai menerimanya. Minggu lalu ada keengganan untuk benar-benar terjun langsung. Itulah yang saya ingin mereka lakukan.”
Apa berikutnya?
Inggris menuju ke Cardiff pada hari Sabtu 25 Februari untuk menghadapi kesulitan Wales yang belum mendapatkan kemenangan di kejuaraan tahun ini (16:45). Untuk Italia, pertandingan kandang menunggu calon Grand Slam Irlandia (14:15).
