Steve Borthwick has firmly stated that his approach to managing the England rugby team is distinct from that of his predecessor, Eddie Jones. This comes in response to comments made by former England scrum-half Danny Care, who described Jones's regime as akin to "living in a dictatorship." Borthwick, who served as an assistant coach under Jones for over four years, emphasized that he has nothing to conceal regarding his current setup. He believes that players are now encouraged to express their opinions, marking a significant shift in the team's culture. Care's remarks have raised concerns about the environment under Jones, prompting scrutiny of the Rugby Football Union's safeguarding practices. Sir Clive Woodward, the World Cup-winning coach, has also expressed disbelief that the RFU chose to renew Jones's contract despite these serious allegations.
