RFU announcement on Monday, Borthers told the players after the Clermont match that he and Kev were going.

Meh it's the same press that have repeatedly said that an announcement is imminent and changed the details it that announcement every other day. Few days ago Borthwick had signed a secret extension he's since denied.

We'll find out the details tomorrow which will have been the agreed date between club and RFU. The RFU will have wanted it immediately but the club won't have wanted anything before the game.

I hope Borthwick takes control of the game Vs Glaws so the fans have a chance to thank him for the excellent job he's done. Ditto Sinfield if he is indeed leaving, hopefully he isn't.

Personally I'd be happy for Aled & Brett to head us up for the remainder of the season.

Will be interesting to see if any others go post 6N/end of the season.

I suspect that post 6N break Wigglesworth may go, as we may have put our foot down and said we can't lose him till JVP & Youngs are back.

Aled we'll see. Personally I suspect IF we lose Aled it will be post season, not too much your strength and conditioning can do till you have big camps together.

That says more about the sort of people attracted to Sky Sports

Totally and utterly hacked off!

Rugbypass reporting that Wigglesworth will take over. Means we might be in the market for another scrum-half for the 6N?

I'd still take him as a player coach for the 6N tbh... let Deacon manage the games he plays in

Do not give a flying fig about England or the clots in blazers that run the R F U. Extremely disappointed with Borthwick and cannot bring myself to forgive him for walking out and leaving us in the lurch. He might have led us to a title last season, but that does not give him a free pass to shaft us this year. Hopefully whoever replaces him will see us as more than a “stepping stone” in further their own career. Some may wish him well for the future, I do not.

No thanks for dragging us out the doldrums then and from being the laughing stock of rugby to GP champions being top of the league from week 1 to winning it outright?

From what we have seen so far that doesn't exactly sound a great idea...I was hoping he was going to England as well.

Personally I don't think SB is ready for the England role, he could very easily turn out like Andy Robinson.

I bit lol,but I think he's genuinely being serious!

We need to hope the Borthwick is a success for England and we need to appoint an equally ambitious coach here. Then the England job will be taken up for a good few years and Tigers will still progress. Glass half full
