Leicester Tigers coach Steve Borthwick linked with vacant England job
It follows the sacking of Eddie Jones earlier this week
Leicester director of rugby Steve Borthwick has refused to comment on speculation linking him to becoming England's new head coach.
Former England captain Borthwick is the favourite to succeed Eddie Jones, who was sacked on Tuesday after overseeing England's worst year of results since 2008.
Speaking ahead of Leicester's opening Heineken Champions Cup game, Borthwick said: "We play Ospreys on Sunday night and that's what I'm focused upon. That's what my team is focused upon, and that's what we've been focused upon all week.
"Within Leicester Tigers and this team here, there is no talk here of anything other than the game on Sunday night.
"I don't think anyone can possibly doubt how committed I have been since the minute I walked through this door to give the best I can for this team, and that is my intention again this week to get the performance we want."
