Eighteen wins and counting - England's record-equalling run
In addition to securing a second successive Six Nations title on Saturday with a 61-21 battering of Scotland, England equalled New Zealand’s record for the most wins in succession by a tier-one Test side.
England have now triumphed in 18 consecutive matches, the first of those wins coming at the end of Stuart Lancaster’s reign as Uruguay were beaten in a Rugby World Cup dead rubber.
Eddie Jones duly succeeded Lancaster and is still to taste defeat as head coach.
We take a look at England’s results during their record-equalling run, which has taken them to the brink of a second Grand Slam in as many years.
