Erasmus knows England coach Borthwick ‘is a bit under pressure’

RASSIE ERASMUS insists Steve Borthwick is a coach under pressure as South Africa look to inflict further misery on England at Twickenham on Saturday.

England are playing to avoid a fifth successive defeat when they host the all-conquering back-to-back world champions with Borthwick’s win rate for his 26 games in charge now 50 per cent.

The Rugby Football Union insists Borthwick has its “100 per cent full support” despite the last-gasp losses to New Zealand and Australia that have soured the autumn.
