England captain Maro Itoje expressed his enthusiasm for his team’s potential, but emphasized that they still have a long way to go to achieve their goals. England’s 27-23 victory over Argentina on Sunday marked their eleventh consecutive test match win this year, remaining undefeated at home throughout 2025. Their last defeat dates back to the Six Nations in Dublin against Ireland in February. Since then, the team led by Steve Borthwick has defeated Scotland, France, New Zealand, and Australia, among others. The team’s depth has also improved, as demonstrated by the outstanding performance of Max Ojomoh, who was named player of the match in his second test match. Itoje was satisfied with his autumn campaign, which included victories over the Wallabies, the All Blacks, Fiji and Argentina, but urged caution and avoided getting ahead of himself.
I’ve been part of the England team for several years and I’m as excited now as ever.
Maro Itoje
Coach Borthwick agreed that the team has progressed both collectively and individually.There’s still a lot of work to do, but I think there’s a real enthusiasm among the group of players to do it.
Maro Itoje
This fall has allowed us to continue that development.The team is on the path of progress that we have talked about. We said it’s a journey, and I’ve said it several times, I’m not sure they necessarily believed me, about the level of experience in the team, the matches together, the level of experience coming off the bench.
