“There’s been some negativity about that [Borthwick’s management] in the media,” Earl said.
“He almost always seems like he’s got a crystal ball, he knows these things are going to happen.
“He’s got a plan in place to take the team forward and the way he has spoken to us as a group since the news has come out has been really positive, and I’m really looking forward to seeing where that team goes next.
“I can’t wait to get back [playing for England] when the time comes and I know that we will have a great autumn.”
Asked about possibly receiving one of the newly announced ‘enhanced contracts’, Earl said he remains desperate to play for his club side Saracens whenever possible.
Such contracts will give 25 elite England players a programme to help them peak for big international games.
This will give Borthwick more control over key players’ fitness and conditioning.
“I have been with Saracens since I was 14-years-old. If there is any conversation about being managed, I still want to play for Saracens every week if I can,” he added.
