I cannot wait to go to Twickenham next Saturday for the Calcutta Cup. It’s the first time in a while I’ve been excited to watch England play because it had just become such a negative and repetitive experience under Eddie Jones.

Steve Borthwick is starting with a clean slate. He can get the supporters back on their feet and give English rugby the shot in the arm it needs. Throw everything at it, shake off the hangover of the Jones regime and don’t let that doom and gloom back in.

It all starts with his team selection and I would love to see some new combinations, starting with Dan Kelly and Joe Marchant in the centres. I’ve played alongside Marchant at Harlequins and had a closer look at Kelly while I’ve been training with Leicester over the last few weeks.
