Farrell looks likely to overlook England coaches for his British Lions staff
- Borthwick said backroom team not been approached
- Coaches set to miss out for second straight Lions tour
Andy Farrell looks likely to overlook England’s assistants when selecting his British & Irish Lions coaching staff, with Steve Borthwick revealing he has not been approached about members of the backroom team.
After England rounded off their Six Nations campaign with a record win against Wales to secure second place, Borthwick said he wanted as many of his players selected for the Lions tour as possible when Farrell names his squad on 8 May. Borthwick also endorsed Maro Itoje for the captaincy.
