[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1116302, member: 72977"] It is being blown out of proportion, but it's also a rookie error from Borthwick. He could easily have mentioned it without referencing his kids or the closeness of the relationship. Any doubt over whether a player has been picked on merit is always bad and undermines both the player and the coach. This regardless of if it's true. Borthwick should avoid those comments when the focus is on selection. I'm sure he'll have plenty of other opportunities to discuss rugby at grass roots and how professionals can support it and Borthwick needs to learn when is the right time to discuss it. [/QUOTE]
