England boss Steve Borthwick has given his verdict on Maro Itoje’s bid to captain the British and Irish Lions on their tour to Australia.

Interesting that the British & Irish Lions 🦁 are in talks about playing France to open their 2029 tour. It’s a fixture that hasn’t happened since 1989, something Ireland’s Phillip Matthews reminisced about a while ago on RugbyPass. #Lions #rugby https://t.co/xZlNQpj68i
