Five England changes Steve Borthwick should make after Scotland loss

Following a 29-23 defeat to Scotland in their Six Nations Test at Twickenham on Saturday, Steve Borthwick will be considering some major changes.

Here are the five alterations we’d make based on players performances.

#1. Owen Farrell

RUCK 4/10: Aside from being poor from the tee, his defensive positioning at centre cost his side more than once.

Planet Rugby 6/10: “Kicked poorly off the tee.”

Telegraph 5/10: “Not his finest performance in an England shirt. Clattered into Russell slightly late in the first half which was met with approval from the Twickenham crowd – tackle school has been treating him well. Patchy from the tee.”

Replacement: Manu Tuilagi
