Borthwick is a goner based on my personal interactions that I will take as fact.

So, I live in NZ and have for over a decade. Kiwis, in general, do not follow the 6 nations much. There are obviously the die hard rugby fans who follow it avidly, but your average Kiwi is not paying close attention to it. There are lots of reasons for this, but in 15 years, I have experienced random 6 nations chat in work only once or twice, except for those few rugby die hards who text me live during the game.

This morning, everyone in my office wants to talk about England losing to Italy and Borthwick going. Now, some of that is everyone loving to see England lose but IMO, if it has filtered into the general chat all the way down here, then he is in serious trouble.

Based on this completely worthless anecdotal data, and especially if he loses next week, I am declaring the Borthwick era officially over. You heard it here first.
