Six Nations: England Under New Captaincy – Can Steve Borthwick Turn Things Around?

Six Nations: England Under New Leadership

The 2025 Six Nations brings fresh challenges for England, with new captain Maro Itoje leading the team and head coach Steve Borthwick under immense pressure to deliver results.

A Tough Start for England

England begins their campaign against defending champions Ireland in Dublin on February 1. This is followed by home games against France and Scotland, adding further difficulty to an already daunting schedule. With a record of seven losses in their last 10 Tests, including three consecutive defeats in the autumn, England must improve drastically to avoid further setbacks.

Six Nations 2025 Fixtures: England

February 1: Ireland (away)
February 8: France (home)
February 22: Scotland (home)
March 9: Italy (home)
March 15: Wales (away)
The Itoje Era Begins
Maro Itoje steps into the captaincy role after a surprise leadership shake-up by Borthwick. Itoje replaces Jamie George, who led England during the 2023 Rugby World Cup but is now sidelined due to injury.

Key Challenges Ahead

England’s opening fixtures will likely determine whether Borthwick can lead the team into the 2027 Rugby World Cup. With an untimely injury crisis and tough opponents, England faces a critical test of their resilience and strategy.

Can Itoje’s leadership inspire a turnaround, or will it be another frustrating Six Nations for England? The answers will unfold starting February 1 in Dublin.
