England's head coach will travel to New Zealand to finalize preparations for the summer tour, aiming for a historic victory against the All Blacks.

England head coach Steve Borthwick is set to travel to New Zealand to finalize plans for the upcoming summer tour.
The tour includes back-to-back Tests against the All Blacks in July, with England seeking their first win on tour against New Zealand since 2003.
Borthwick intends to take a full-strength squad, emphasizing the importance of continuity and stability in the team.
The introduction of hybrid contracts for players is delayed, with only Maro Itoje and Jamie George receiving offers so far.
Despite a third-place finish in the Six Nations, England's recent performances against Ireland and France have boosted confidence ahead of the summer tour.
