There is a real passion for rugby across the north of England, and we're looking forward to experiencing a brilliant atmosphere in Liverpool."
When asked about his job security amid the losing run, Borthwick declined to discuss private conversations with the Rugby Football Union.
"The conversations I have with the RFU are private," he said.
"All I focus upon is this Saturday … that's all I ever did as a player and that's all I do as a coach."
He acknowledged the squad shares the public's disappointment.
"You accept the scrutiny, the pressure and the expectation because you want to try and achieve some great things.
When this team doesn't perform the way we want, we feel the hurt and pain that our supporters feel and we feel it so much because we all care so much.
I hope that this weekend we can get back to winning ways."
Fly-half Fin Smith, who retains his starting position, believes small improvements can change the team's fortunes.
"We just need to do the basic things of the game slightly better, more often.
As dull as that is, you play the best team in the world and that is what they teach you," said Smith.
He credited South Africa for their performance but noted England had positive moments.
"While saying that, I think there was moments where we had our tails up and we can take a little bit of confidence in that."
Smith added that consistent execution of fundamentals will eventually turn results.
"Sometimes it is hard to see the light when we have had some tough results and some not so good performances.
But it is just the small things done on repeat in test matches and if we start winning a few more of those small moments, then scoreboards will turn."
