Steve Borthwick's preparation for the autumn internationals with England has been compromised due to the scheduling of an additional Test against Australia. Traditionally, England plays three autumn internationals, but this fourth match, set for November 1, will reduce Borthwick's crucial training camp in Girona from a week to mere days. The Rugby Football Union's decision comes amidst financial struggles, reporting a £42 million loss. This schedule change raises concerns about player fitness and cohesion as they adapt from club to international level with limited time to train together.
