Bath have lost five players this year to drug-related offences and Harlequins winger Tom Williams was found to have faked a blood injury in last season's Heineken Cup quarter-final and received a 12-month suspension.

Borthwick said: "We are role models for many people. We are the England team and we need to ensure we act responsibly."

He added: "We all work very hard as rugby players to get selection and to earn a living but we are also very privileged. That doesn't escape me because with that comes responsibility.

"I have always felt that responsibility and that is the way I have chosen to conduct myself."

England opened the Twickenham doors on Wednesday to 5,000 fans who watched the squad train on the field and then stayed back to collect autographs and photos.

"There were lots of people out there and we all stayed there to sign autographs for as long as need be. We have a responsibility and we are acutely aware of it," Borthwick added.
