Captain Maro Itoje emphasized the team's positive performance, stating that their fate now rests on Scotland's match against France, which could lead to England claiming the championship title. Coach Steve Borthwick expressed confidence in Itoje's potential as British & Irish Lions captain, noting the selection challenges this success creates for Lions coach Andy Farrell. While England's performance highlighted weaknesses in the Welsh side, it also marked a significant turnaround for the team compared to their past struggles.

Regardless of the final outcome, England's campaign reflects substantial progress under Borthwick's leadership.
