When COVID-19 interrupted the 2020 Six Nations, England was heavily favored to win, and they didn’t disappoint when the action resumed. England’s  34-5 win over Italy in their final match on October 31st was enough to tie France on points and five them the edge in point differential (the first tiebreaker).

The win marked England’s seventh championship since 2000, when the tournament expanded to six teams. France and Wales remain tied for second with five each.
