Lewis Moody is ready to take over the England captaincy if required following news that Steve Borthwick has lost his battle to recover from a knee injury. Mick Cleary and Gavin Mair report in the Daily Telegraph.
"Moody took over from the Saracens lock for the final match of England's Six Nations campaign against France in Paris. Borthwick is still experiencing pain from the knee injury that ruled him out of that match, the first he had missed since taking over as captain on Martin Johnson's appointment as manager in the summer of 2008.
"If I were asked to do the job again, I'd absolutely love it," said Moody, who has had no contact on the matter with the England management yet. I was only filling in for Steve but I'd support whoever was asked to be captain."
