STEVE BORTHWICK has urged his England side to get shot of their plucky losers' tag and finally get a big win over the line.

Add in the agonising defeat to France in the Six Nations and Borthwick's crew have lost their last three Tests against major nations by a total of 10 points.
And the boss has called for an end to the near-misses starting with a revenge mission against the Kiwis at Twickenham a week on Saturday.
