“I still think we’re way off the potential of this team and let’s just hope we start seeing that,” added Carling, who was had a part-time mentoring role with England under Borthwick’s predecessor Eddie Jones.<\/p>\n

England vice-captain Ellis Genge said last week former players such as Carling were “out of touch” in their criticism of the team<\/a>, failing to give them due credit for turning around a run of six defeats in seven Tests earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t necessarily agree with him,” Carling said. “A lot of ex-players are hugely experienced and have a lot of knowledge.<\/p>\n

“But I understand that when you’re a current player you’re highly sensitive.<\/p>\n

“You’re trying as hard as you can to win games [and] they’ve had a tough run. Let’s be honest, we’re talking a tough run for three or four years now. That’s where players have to understand people will have opinions.<\/p>\n

“I remember all these times we had some very ugly wins and you watch the reaction of the media and the fans.<\/p>\n

“It is a bit frustrating but you have to take a deep breath and accept that’s part and parcel of it.”<\/p>\n

Carling captained England 59 times, leading them to three Grand Slams and a Rugby World Cup final during the 1990s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
