Six Nations LIVE: England star 'really hurt' as Borthwick announces squad for Italy clash | Rugby | Sport




England hooker Jamie George has spoken out on his struggles after being relieved of the England captaincy by Steve Borthwick.

George, set to win his 100th cap this Sunday, said: "It was really challenging, it was really difficult. That hurt, it really did and the first thing on my mind was: ‘Is that me?’ 

“It wasn’t a two-way conversation with Steve, it was very one-way. I don’t think you can plead your case like a breakup. I wasn’t expecting it but at the same time I understood. Steve has always been clear with me and honest and I have worked with coaches before who haven’t been.

“I was gutted, I was disappointed, I felt like I had a lot more to give but at the same time his decision and who he has picked in Maro, is a fantastic decision."
