Borthwick Celebrates the Connection of the New Generation of Players with the Fans

Steve Borthwick, England’s coach, has expressed his satisfaction with the way the new generation of players is connecting with the fans, emphasizing the need for “superstars” in rugby. Although the team has high-level veterans such as captain Maro Itoje, hooker Jamie George, prop Ellis Genge, and fly-half George Ford, the younger players are making their mark in a unique way. A TikTok dance performed by Henry Pollock, Tommy Freeman, Freddie Steward, and Fin Smith caused a sensation in November, showing an unusual personality in English rugby. The publication, which has been viewed by millions, came after England’s resounding victory over New Zealand with a score of 33-19.
