If I had asked any England fan at the beginning of these six nations if they would have taken four five -game victories, they would have bitten their hand.
So, this has been a successful campaign for Steve Borthwick and his players. Yes, any England team should always aim to win the championship title.
But we also have to be realistic. Given where this side of England began, it would always be very difficult to overcome it from Ireland and France. However, England has shown signs of progression in this campaign.
And that ascending curve continued on Saturday with an impressive and ruthless victory over Wales in Cardiff. Do not be mistaken, win at the Principality stadium and in the convincing way they did is a great moment on the trip of England. It was an excellent team performance.
A great well done Borthwick from me.
He has had his critics, but his selection for Wales was bold and harvested the rewards. Choosing the team he made for Cardiff showed that he is up to the task of taking the English rugby to the top. Eddie Jones era is good and true story.

England finished its Six Nations campaign in a maximum by winning Wales 68-14 on Saturday

But it was not enough to win the title of the six nations, which went to France after beating Scotland
A penny also for the thoughts of the coaches who have left the Borthwick configuration, such as Felix Jones and Aced Walters. I wonder if they will live to regret that decision because for me, England is a team that goes to places and is still many improvements to come.
Some might make fun of the result of the Chambolic state of Wales. Now they have lost 17 tests in a row. However, the cardiff factor should not be minimized.
It is a cauldron of an atmosphere, a barrel of dust ready to leave at any time. For England players, it is a nightmare place. The Welsh are fucking for your blood.
So, for England to win there and in the way they did, it will give them significant confidence. Winning not only talent, but also.
I must say, however, that England was playing against a really poor team. Wales was not close to that. Maybe they had bad luck to try through their main hope Blair Murray, but they really were miles of the rhythm. Maro Itoje went immediately and the end step Smith for Tom Roebuck's attempt showed exactly what he can do.
England's package had complete control. Wales was Powderpuff compared. However, there will be much more severe challenges than for England.
What has Borthwick learned in these six nations? It has been reinforced that George Furbank is first choice for a field mile. Marcus Smith is able to fill that void in the absence of Furbank, as he did in this championship. But if everyone is completely fit, it has to be Furbank that begins in no 15.
End Smith has also had an advance campaign.

Another attempt by Tommy Freeman means that he scored in his five outputs of six nations this year

Henry Pollock is a brilliant young player and I'm looking forward to seeing more about him

Wales is a really poor side: now they have suffered 17 test losses in the rebound, which is a record for a level one in the professional era
France exploded victory against England, but end Smith was excellent in that game. There have been no scandalous moments of individual brilliance.
But that's not what he does. What Smith does is mold a bottom line around it and get the best out of the types like Tommy Freeman. I have also impressed the Smith end behavior.
Some people are built for the test rugby and with their positive and imperturbable attitude, the former Worcester man is undoubtedly one of those. End Smith showed that in Cardiff, orchestrating a rear division that played with rhythm, rhythm and more rhythm.
I was pleased to see Freeman having the opportunity to start at the external center, which I think will be his best long -term position. And it was excellent, as expected.
It is remarkable that Freeman has scored in each round of these six nations. That feat cannot be minimized. Freeman looked very, very comfortable in the center of the field. It was a shame for me that he had even before the time of the hour because the longer he plays in that position, the better for him and England. Outside the center it must be Freeman's permanent position for England.
Borthwick also gave Henry Pollock a lot of play time in the second half. He is a brilliant player for the future of England and I hope he has more time in the summer tour matches with Argentina and the United States.
It was a great moment to see the pure joy on Pollock's face when he entered the field for his first cap and then improved with him scoring two attempts! I loved seeing his parents celebrating and the way Pollock was received and congratulated by his teammates was simply brilliant. That showed me that England has a happy camp.
The best players in England will be with the lions this summer.
But that trip will be key to England because they must continue the development they have shown in this campaign. Then, in general, a very good campaign from England.
However, it can improve even more in the coming months and years.
