With his feet just under the desk at Twickenham, new England head coach Steve Borthwick will lead his new team against Scotland on February 4 in the 2023 Six Nations championship.

Borthwick had replaced Australian Eddie Jones in the hot seat and is tasked with leading the Red Rose into the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

The lock won 57 caps in the England engine room between 2001 and 2010 - captaining his country 21 times in a glittering playing career.

The first of those appearances came against France in Round 5 of the Six Nations some 22 years ago. England ran out 48-19 winners on their way to the title with a young Borthwick impressing.

Ahead of his first outing as head coach, can you name the squad fielded by Sir Clive Woodward that day in April?
