England’s head coach, Steve Borthwick, is facing intense scrutiny as his team gears up for their decisive Six Nations match against France this Saturday. With England teetering on the edge of a historical low, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Andy Goode, former England fly-half, is calling for a change. According to Goode, if England loses by more than 10 points, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) might have no choice but to let Borthwick go. Even a close loss could lead to a shake-up, with questions swirling around Borthwick’s suitability for the role.

It’s been a challenging campaign, with defeats against Scotland, Ireland, and an unprecedented loss to Italy, stirring unrest among fans and analysts alike. As Borthwick navigates through this storm, Goode suggests looking towards Michael Cheika, a seasoned coach, to maybe take the reins. “Cheika’s experience could be the game-changer England needs,” he hinted.

Despite a series of impressive victories in 2025, England’s recent performance has been less than stellar, with a three-game losing streak. Added to the mix is their discipline issue, with the squad close to breaking the Six Nations record for yellow cards. It’s critical they clinch a win against France in Paris—a feat they haven’t achieved since 2016—to avoid finishing in fifth place, matching their worst-ever position.

The RFU says they’re committed to Borthwick, but sources reveal he has just four games to prove himself, starting with France. Can England rally and reclaim their glory, or is it time for a fresh start with new leadership?
