Coach Borthwick 'under pressure'

England are playing to avoid a fifth successive defeat tomorrow 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 recent last-gasp losses to New Zealand and Australia.

England took South Africa to the wire with a safety-first kicking game in last year's World Cup semi-final and Erasmus suspects Borthwick will fall back on tactics that have been effective in the past.
