Borthwick’s induction is long overdue as he stands clear of every player in English rugby history as the most capped Premiership Rugby player of all time.
His 265 career appearances span from 1998-2014, while he also managed to pack in 57 England caps in that time and lead the Red Rose on 21 occasions.
Renowned for lineout expertise, Borthwick captained Bath Rugby to the Premiership Rugby Final in 2004 and the European Challenge Cup crown in 2008 – his final game at the club.
Since hanging up his boots, Borthwick has already catapulted himself to the top of the coaching tree after impressive spells with Japan, England and latterly the British & Irish Lions.
