It seems like there are conflicting reports:Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 1:10 pm Why are people going on about November? The RFU said he leaves at the end of this season, November is in the middle of next season he won’t still be with England then

and finally, the RFU have confirmed that Steve Borthwick will leave the England coaching set-up at the end of the season, with Jason Ryles joining from rugby league as a skills coach in November.
Interpret all of this as you will and this is where the confusion lies.
The one that seems to clarify matters more than any is the following:

Which states: Borthwick will leave his post as No 2 to Eddie Jones before the July tour to Japan, meaning the Six Nations match against Italy on 14 March will be his final game with England.
So end of the Premiership season and before the July tour (which are both after the 6 Nations) seems to suggest to me that he will be joining us full time May/June time. Clearly sooner the better and were he to arrive with a few fixtures still remaining this season that would be an even bigger bonus imo.
Hope this helps clarify things a bit
