flag Eddie Jones blames Steve Borthwick's early talk of a France showdown for distracting England, hurting focus and contributing to poor Six Nations results.

flag Former England coach Eddie Jones blames Steve Borthwick’s January comments about a potential title-deciding match against France for distracting the team and contributing to England’s poor Six Nations form. flag Jones says the remarks, which suggested a final-round showdown, created premature focus on a future game, potentially leading players and families to plan for a Paris trip and undermining concentration. flag He links the team’s 31-20 loss to Scotland and heavy defeat by Ireland to a loss of mental focus and confidence, especially after an early 17-0 deficit. flag Jones stresses that strong leadership is now essential to reverse the slide, as England faces a must-win match against Italy.
