England know they will need to raise their game after two narrow opening wins in the 2024 Six Nations.
Coach Steve Borthwick is under pressure to produce positive performances.
Results have fallen England's way, but the nature of the 27-24 and 16-14 victories over Italy and Wales respectively did little to encourage fans to make progress.
England finished third in the Rugby World Cup in 2023, despite a year of poor results, but their standout performance was their only defeat of the tournament, a narrow 16-15 loss to eventual world champions South Africa.
They are expected to knock off Scotland and Wales to put themselves in good stead in the event of mistakes from the elite racers, France and Ireland.
