English rugby chief says no talks with Farrell 'at present'

Sweeney has indicated current England coach Steve Borthwick will be given a July trio of matches in the new Nations Championship to oversee an upturn in the team's fortunes following a woeful Six Nations where the Red Rose brigade finished fifth following four straight defeats. Should former England coach Borthwick deliver sufficiently good results against world champions South Africa, Fiji and Argentina he will likely see out his contract until the 2027 World Cup in Australia, after which it expires.
