Steve Borthwick and his deputy Richard Wigglesworth have had a secret meeting with England's coaching team to learn from the Australian master coach Joe Schmidt about how he has transformed his team's performance.
Borthwick, who is also in charge of England's rugby defense, sat down with Brendon McCullum and his coaching assistants in Manchester before their match against Australia on Saturday. The Wallabies have been enjoying a remarkable run under Schmidt, and Wigglesworth believes that they possess the talent and pace to cause problems for England's attack.
In a recent interview, Wigglesworth said: "Australia have this level of talent and speed out wide. That's always been there, but what Joe has done incredibly well is coach the tight game." This suggests that England will need to be on their guard against Australia's backline if they are to succeed.
The meeting between Borthwick and McCullum may have provided valuable insights into how to counter Schmidt's tactics. However, despite these preparations, many still doubt whether England can bring home a victory from this match.
England coach Brendon McCullum has been credited with turning around the fortunes of English cricket by adopting an aggressive playing style that emphasizes risk-taking and attacking play. His mental approach to the game has also been praised for its effectiveness in motivating his players.
Borthwick's meeting with McCullum may have provided a new perspective on how to succeed against Australia, but ultimately it remains to be seen whether England can execute their plans successfully.
With the help of Schmidt's insights, Borthwick and Wigglesworth are looking forward to Saturday's match. As Wigglesworth said: "It's a great rivalry with Australia. Both sides really enjoy playing against each other because there's something there. Bring on Saturday."

England needs to step up their defense game, can't rely on attack alone 
️
... his coaching style is all about being bold and taking risks, which is exactly what England need right now. It’s crazy how he turned around the fortunes of cricket so quickly, maybe his approach can be applied to other sports too? 
The Wallabies are looking fierce under Joe Schmidt, but with McCullum's guidance, I hope England can pull off an upset 
.
️ Brendon mccullum's approach to cricket seems to be working out, but will it translate to rugby? only time will tell 
! steve borthwick and richard wigglesworth are all about learning from joe schmidt and that aussie team is lookin fierce 
, so who knows maybe england's gonna surprise everyone 
! we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out 
, don't get me wrong, Schmidt's squad is looking fierce and those Wallabies have been dominating under his guidance. But I believe McCullum's coaching style has rubbed off on Borthwick - we've seen it work wonders for English cricket already! The way they're looking to take risks and attack is exactly what England needs to turn their luck around. It's gonna be a sick game, can't wait to see how it all unfolds
