The article also highlights the ongoing sports narrative of England's team as they prepare for the Calcutta Cup, with specific focus on Marcus Smith's goal-kicking challenges and strategic role changes, showcasing the intersection of sport and real-time analysis.
Having been shifted from fly-half to full-back to accommodate Fin Smith for the round-two clash with France, 26-year-old Marcus Smith wastefully skewed a conversion and a penalty during a 10-minute spell in the second half.
Borthwick, whose defence coach Kevin Sinfield instructed the in-game switch, confirmed the responsibility will revert to Marcus Smith at Allianz Stadium this weekend.
Harlequins playmaker Smith will have another run in the unfamiliar 15 position, where he enjoyed mixed fortunes against Les Bleus, after lock Ollie Chessum replaced George Martin in the only change to Borthwick's squad.
He's a world-class goal-kicker; we all know that, so it's very simple, said Borthwick.
