Rugby Championship : Goode pushes RFU for Cheika as England struggles deepen

Andy Goode demands the Rugby Football Union act swiftly to replace Steve Borthwick before the Rugby World Cup. England faces France in Paris on Saturday, staring down the possibility of a historic fourth loss in a single Six Nations campaign. Goode urges RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney to “throw the chequebook at the Cheik man, Michael Cheika.” Borthwick’s tenure has seen a dramatic decline, with England suffering defeats to Scotland, Ireland, and Italy. The team struggles with scoring and defense, averaging over 20 points conceded per game. Goode asserts a massive change is essential, warning that losing to France would mark the worst Six Nations in England’s history. He criticizes Borthwick's coaching style as outdated and ineffective, arguing it fails to inspire the players. With only four games left to salvage his position, the pressure mounts on Borthwick as England looks for a turnaround.
