England captain Jamie George believes that his team can be contenders for the Six Nations title, despite facing tough challenges ahead. Although England narrowly defeated Wales and Italy, they must now play Scotland and France away, and face an in-form Ireland at Twickenham. George is confident that his squad can rise to the challenge, stating that they have a lot of growth potential. He did acknowledge the need for improvement, especially against Scotland and Ireland. The victory against Wales was historic for England, as they came back from a deficit of nine points. Wales coach Warren Gatland expressed disappointment in his team's failure to secure a win and emphasized the importance of learning from this near miss. England head coach Steve Borthwick praised the team's ability to stay in the fight and find a way to win.
