Ben Youngs believes ball-in-hand rugby must define England’s evolution under Steve Borthwick after their recent over-reliance on a kick-heavy game.

England edged to a 16-15 victory but…

Spanning England’s post-2015 Cricket World Cup revolution that led them to glory four years later, which also took in a T20 World Cup win in 2022, and then the white-ball side’s struggles since, there has been one constant: Adil Rashid.
