England coach Steve Borthwick is determined to turn around England's poor recent record in the Six Nations Championship. With just a 50 percent win rate in the last six editions, including two fifth-place finishes, Borthwick wants England to hit the ground running and compete in every single game. He plans to adopt a different mindset and approach, starting with a pre-Six Nations training camp in Girona, Spain.

England coach Steve Borthwick is determined to change England's fortunes in the upcoming Six Nations Championship. Borthwick acknowledges that England has only won 50 percent of their matches in the past six editions of the tournament, which includes two fifth-place finishes under former coach Eddie Jones. The team has also suffered three defeats in the past three Six Nations, including a record 53-10 loss to France at Twickenham last year. Borthwick wants to ensure that England competes in every game and aims to hit the ground running in their opening match against Italy on February 3.

Borthwick expressed his dissatisfaction with Jones' previous comments downplaying Six Nations losses, stating that he wants this England team to compete in every single game. He wants to change the team's mindset and approach to the game and the tournament. To achieve this, England will embark on a pre-Six Nations training camp in Girona, Spain, taking a different approach to previous tournaments.

The Six Nations Championship has been dominated by Ireland and France in recent years, and Borthwick acknowledges that other teams are trying to compete with these two powerhouses. He wants England to be able to challenge the dominant teams and believes that hitting the ground running in the tournament is crucial. England has often struggled in their opening games and Borthwick wants to avoid being caught off guard this time.

Borthwick's determination to improve England's performance in the Six Nations is fueled by the team's recent success at the World Cup in France, where they finished in third place. Despite their World Cup achievement, Borthwick is not satisfied and wants England to perform consistently well in the Six Nations. He wants the team to approach each game with the intensity and focus required to compete at the highest level.

The upcoming Six Nations Championship will be a test for England, but Borthwick's determination and desire to change the team's mindset and approach gives hope for a better performance. The pre-Six Nations training camp in Girona will provide an opportunity for the team to regroup and prepare for the challenges ahead. England fans will be eagerly watching to see if Borthwick's call to hit the ground running translates into improved results and a more competitive England team in the Six Nations.
