RFU 'not in a discussion' with Ireland head coach Farrell
- The Rugby Football Union is reviewing head coach Steve Borthwick's position following England's worst-ever Six Nations campaign, where the team finished fifth after four consecutive losses.
- An anonymous panel, including chief executive Bill Sweeney, director of performance rugby Conor O'Shea, and non-executive director Ben Kay, will complete the review by the end of next month.
- Defending the head coach, Sweeney stated, "You've got to take emotion out of the equation," while emphasizing support mechanisms following England's stirring performance against France.
- Borthwick will lead the summer tour against South Africa, Fiji, and Argentina, with success determining whether he sees out his contract until the 2027 World Cup.
- Sweeney insisted there has been no contact with Ireland coach Andy Farrell regarding succession, though Farrell remains under contract to the 2027 World Cup with extension talks beginning soon.
