Borthwick has come under pressure after England's Six Nations campaign was sunk by consecutive losses to Scotland, Ireland and Italy
Steve Borthwick's boss has given the England coach his backing, but says there will be a full examination of the woeful Six Nations campaign after the team's final-round match against France on Saturday.
England are fifth in the table and well out of the title running after successive defeats by Scotland, Ireland and Italy - which was the first ever loss to the Azzurri - ruined their ambitions and prompted questions over Borthwick's future.
"After a 12-match winning run, these past three results have been hugely disappointing, and we feel that just as much as everyone else," said Rugby Football Union chief executive Bill Sweeney.
"Steve and his coaching team are working tirelessly to make improvements, and we remain fully committed to supporting them and the players as they face France this weekend and then look ahead to the Nations Championship.
