Steve Borthwick has said his team "found a way to win a tactical arm-wrestle" as England edged Scotland 16-15 at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

England coach Steve Borthwick has spent much of the last year taking positives from close defeats so he was not in the mood to apologise for his side's stuttering display in their 16-15 Six Nations victory over Scotland on Saturday.

England head coach Steve Borthwick says it is important for his side to "enjoy" their 16-15 win over Scotland in the Six Nations.

England are showing a newfound resilience, but Steve Borthwick had Finn Russell's right boot to thank for victory over Scotland.

Head coach Steve Borthwick says England are a "very different" side to the one which was beaten by Scotland in last year's Calcutta Cup meeting.

Will Greenwood believes that Steve Borthwick is putting his England team in a 'dangerous place' with his regimented tactical approach. England breathed new life into their Six Nations campaign with a hard-fought win over Scotland, their first since 2020, last weekend to wrestle back the Calcutta Cup.

Will Greenwood claims that England's actions have not backed up Steve Borthwick's words after their narrow Six Nations victory over Scotland.

Finn Russell missed a last-gasp conversion which would have given victory to the Scots, allowing England to end their run of successive defeats against their old rivals. In spite of the result at Twickenham, former Wasps full-back Andy Goode has suggested that England would be a much better side without Borthwick at the helm.

England head coach Steve Borthwick has admitted that his side “don’t necessarily want to play” the way they did in their 16-15 Guinness Six Nations victory over Scotland, but has insisted the team are “evolving”.
