England Rugby Shows Promise with Best Six Nations Campaign in Five Years

Steve Borthwick's squad delivers a strong finish, fueled by young talent like Henry Pollock, as focus shifts to summer tours and Lions selections.

England secured four wins in the Six Nations, marking their best performance in the tournament since 2018, despite falling short of a title.
Head coach Steve Borthwick praised the team's growth, highlighting a developing identity built on breakdown dominance, quick transitions, and aerial control.
20-year-old debutant Henry Pollock impressed with an energetic performance in Cardiff, scoring two tries and embodying the optimism surrounding England's next generation.
Borthwick is preparing for a summer development tour to Argentina and the United States, with opportunities for emerging players as many senior stars are expected to join the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia.
Players like Maro Itoje, Tommy Freeman, and Fin Smith have strengthened their cases for Lions selection, while England's U20s continue to show promise as a pipeline for future talent.
