Six Nations 2025: Five talking points from the final round as France win title
Entering the final round, England knows they almost certainly need to win a huge bonus win at Cardiff to have their first title since 2020.
The narrow wins in France and Scotland passed a more conservative game plan, and then Borthwick fulfilled his promise that his team would play more aggressively in the offense in seven wins against Italy.

Picking three “fetchers” in the back row helped lay the platform for England’s dominance, both defeated by the Curry Brothers and Ben Earl.
Former Scotland captain John Barclay told The BBC’s Six Nations Rugby Special.
“Brother Curry and Earl are both world-class. Not only is this a collapse, but everything they do has a physical primitive advantage.
“It all makes your job easier and their back row is incredible.”
Among the six countries this year, England brought victory for mistakes (36), slowing down opponents’ hits, while the jack won the championship (21).
The depth in the back row only grew after 20-year-old Northampton Saints wing Henry Pollock made two attempts in his debut, with Chandler Cunningham-South, 21, also making two attempts for Wales, while Tom Willis, 8th-placed, was 26, impressed by his three matches.
