So far it has been an underwhelming start for England in the Six Nations following defeat to Scotland in the Calcutta Cup in round one before a 0-33 win over Italy where Eddie Jones' men barely left second gear.
However, they have three tough games left to play but will have to wait another week before taking on Wales at Twickenham on Saturday, February 26 which will likely cause fireworks as it always does.
Before then, there will be a week of Gallagher Premiership action for England fans to enjoy during the Six Nations break, as well as a return to United Rugby Championship and Top 14 for the rest of the tournament's supporters to enjoy.
Bristol Bears will have some of their stars back available for their game against Worcester on Friday night but Pat Lam is due to update fans later this week as to who may be available for the game after England return some of their players to club training.
Why is there a break?
The break is not specifically mandated for the tournament but it is tradition due to the physical nature of the sport and the subsequent need to protect player welfare with five tests in five weeks being viewed as excessive.
