England started this year's Six Nations Championship well, thumping Wales 48-7 before losing 31-20 to Scotland, 42-21 to Ireland, 23-18 to Italy, and 48-46 to France to finish a disappointing fifth overall.
Before that, England were in fine form during last year's Autumn Nations Series. They beat Australia 25-7, Fiji 38-18, New Zealand 33-19, and Argentina 27-23.
