England to extend Borthwick contract as Pollock closes on £400,000 Northampton deal

Steve Borthwick is set to receive a contract extension as England rugby head coach that will run until after the 2028 Six Nations. The Rugby Football Union is offering the deal to provide stability while also giving themselves time to identify a potential successor should England underperform at the 2027 Rugby World Cup. Separately, a player named Pollock is reportedly close to completing a £400,000 move to Northampton.
