England’s head coach Steve Borthwick brought in SAS: Who Dares Wins’ Jason Fox to talk to the England squad
Steve Borthwick has recruited the special forces to inspire England as they enter the most challenging phase of the Guinness Six Nations.
Jason Fox, star of the reality TV show ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’, addressed Borthwick’s title hopefuls at their Brighton training camp on Wednesday ahead of their blockbuster clashes with France and Ireland.
Fox was a sergeant in the Special Boat Service having joined the Royal Marines as a 16-year-old, becoming the latest in a long list of outside speakers to perform a Q&A with the England squad.
“Some of the other boys would be good in the SAS! Probably Tom and Ben Curry, they’d be alright,” prop Mako Vunipola said.
England cricketers Jonny Bairstow and Alastair Cook and Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins have given talks in the past, but for Vunipola, it is former Manchester United captain Roy Keane who made the biggest impact.
