England had a great autumn, beating Tonga and Australian before a thrilling game against World Champions South Africa ended with a Marcus Smith penalty in the closing moments secured victory for the Red Rose.
Ordinarily this would mean that a team would come into a Six Nations as favourites, however, France and Ireland both beat New Zealand in the autumn meaning that Eddie Jones' men will have some trepidation after finishing fifth last year.
A major positive from the Autumn games will be the emergence of two talents Freddie Steward and Marcus Smith among others as Jones attempts to revitalise the squad that struggled last spring.
