England’s rugby team is intensifying their training in order to prepare for the crucial moments at the World Cup later this year. Steve Borthwick, the team’s coach, has selected a state-of-the-art training facility in Verona, Italy for the team’s week-long training camp. Despite scorching temperatures reaching 40C due to an anticyclone named Cerberus, Borthwick has arranged challenging training sessions during the late afternoon. Borthwick has also brought in strength and conditioning expert Aled Walters and retained the services of fitness coach Tom Tombleson to ensure the team is in top form.
While other teams, like Wales, have focused on altitude training, Borthwick and Walters believe that training in extreme heat will provide significant benefits for the team. Training in a temperate climate has both physiological and mental advantages. It allows players to think clearly under pressure and prepares them for the toughest situations in a game. Borthwick emphasizes the importance of being conditioned for these extreme moments, as they can make or break a team’s performance.
The England squad, including Ollie Lawrence who is nearing the end of his rehab, is currently in Verona. Several players, such as Billy and Mako Vunipola, Ollie Chessum, and Jack Walker, have remained behind to recover from injuries. Borthwick is focused on combining tactical preparation with intense fitness training during their time in Italy. After the camp, the team will return to their base in Bagshot and continue training.
Borthwick’s approach involves a clear direction and purpose for each training session, with a focus on physical, mental, and tactical development. This comprehensive approach aims to ensure the team is well-prepared for the upcoming World Cup.
