“End of an era” – Steve Borthwick set to drop FIVE aging stars after 2024 Six Nations

Steve Borthwick may be forced to make serious changes to his England squad for the summer fixtures against Japan and New Zealand with a number of aging stars set to move on.

#1. Danny Care

Dynamic and quick-thinking, Danny Care has been a versatile asset to the England rugby team since his debut in 2008. Born in 1987, Care is a scrum-half known for his sniping runs, quick passes, and try-scoring ability.

His ability to change the tempo of a game and exploit gaps in the defense makes him a valuable asset. With numerous caps to his name, Care’s contributions have been vital to England’s success in the Six Nations and on the international stage.

Earning his 100th cap against Ireland in round four was a fitting achievement, yet his performance throughout the 2024 Six Nations has fallen short of expectations.

It’s probably now for Borthwick to move on and look at longer-term solutions when it comes to scrum-halves.
