England retain Six Nations crown and make it look very, very easy

England strolled to victory at Twickenham on Saturday.

A 61-21 win over Scotland meant that Eddie Jones will take his side to Dublin with the knowledge that the Six Nations trophy is already in the bag for the second year running.

A hat-trick from Jonathan Joseph counted for just three of England’s seven tries in a comprehensive win that means that they cannot be caught as they top the table on 18 points after four games played.

Joseph’s first score came inside three minutes and the result was truly never in doubt from there on out as the Red Rose broke the line at will against a Scotland side that struggled to deal with wave after wave of home attacks.

The victory coincided with England’s continued dominance in the Calcutta Cup and saw Jones’ side stretch their current Test win streak to 18, equalling the All Blacks’ world record.

England travel to Ireland next weekend with the chance of making it two consecutive Grand Slams, a feat which hasn’t been seen this century.

And the supporters are definitely looking forward to it.
