Which England players performed well in the Six Nations and where will Steve Borthwick be looking to reinforce his side?
Beating defending champions Ireland and then almost overcoming France in a thriller ensured England finished the Six Nations in an upbeat manner.
Jamie George was named captain before the start of the Six Nations after friend and predecessor Owen Farrell opted to take a break from the international game. The hosts were invigorated with ball in hand and, with exciting young wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso to the fore, went for the jugular at the slightest sense of an opportunity to exploit the Irish defence.
Smith's display in the win over Ireland pushed his claim for a starting berth against France, but Borthwick stuck with Ford, who saved the best until last. Smith also impressed at full-back after replacing the injured George Furbank, while his namesake Fin Smith continues to stake a claim. Fittingly, the pair ended the defeat by France together in midfield after Tuilagi replaced Henry Slade for his 60th cap.
