The second round of the 2025 Six Nations has concluded and England have put themselves among the challengers for glory.

Steve Borthwick's side have flattered to deceive in the home nations' tournament in recent times and endured a horror start to this year's edition.

England endured a five-match losing streak last year after a poor Autumn Nations Series with defeats to New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.

Their run finally came to an end with a 59-14 win over Japan in November, but tougher tests await in the upcoming Six Nations.

England, who haven't won the tournament since 2020, opened their campaign with a defeat to two-time defending champions Ireland.

The Three Lions denied the Irish the chance of back-to-back Grand Slams at Twickenham last year but continued their unwanted streak of not beating Andy Farrell’s side on the road since 2019.
