Jamie George has rejected the impact of a newspaper report alleging unrest among England players over Steve Borthwick’s leadership, saying the claims will galvanise the squad instead.
The England hooker said members of the team were “really upset” by the article, which claimed that the conclusion of their summer tour had been marked by tensions between players and the head coach.
The report focused on Borthwick’s leadership and suggested there had been a rift between the England squad and coaching staff. George’s response indicates that the players do not believe the story will divide them, but will instead strengthen their collective resolve.
No further details about the alleged unrest or the players involved were provided in the supplied material. George’s comments represent the available response from the England camp to the report.
