England Lose to Italy, Borthwick in Trouble & Dave Rennie Takes Over the All Blacks

England losing to Italy has completely blown open the Six Nations — and now Steve Borthwick is under serious pressure. In this episode of GBRANZ, Andy Rowe is joined by All Blacks legend Justin Marshall and Wallabies great Jeremy Paul to break down one of the biggest rugby shocks in years. The lads discuss what went wrong for England, why Italy are no longer a team anyone can underestimate, and whether France are about to pile even more pressure on Borthwick in Paris. They also dive into the huge news from New Zealand rugby with Dave Rennie confirmed as the new All Blacks coach. What does this mean for the All Blacks playing style, selection, captaincy and preparation heading toward the next Rugby World Cup?
