England will hope to challenge at the tournament in France <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
England will begin the 2023 Rugby World Cup as outsiders, but a friendly draw could allow Steve Borthwick\u2019s side to progress deep into the tournament.<\/p>\n
A team that looked ready to kick on after reaching the final in Japan four years ago has failed to develop as hoped, with England struggling for much of this cycle.<\/p>\n
Borthwick was installed as head coach last December after the Rugby Football Union (RFU) parted ways with Eddie Jones, but the former lock has failed to deliver immediate impact, with a fourth-placed finish in his only Six Nations campaign.<\/p>\n
Still, England are in what looks to be the easier half of the draw, away from France, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland, and will hope they can come together quickly at the tournament to launch another tilt at the trophy.<\/p>\n
Here is World Cup schedule for England and their possible route to the final.<\/p>\n
