There aren’t many national teams in world sport that are as dominant as England’s Red Roses have been in the 15-a-side game.
In total, England are 21-time Six Nations winners, having won 59 of their last 60 Test matches.

The Wallaroos will look to take down the powerhouse English side on Sunday at Brighton, with the odds stacked against them.
England, currently under former New Zealand and Force coach John Mitchell, has built one of the most impressive records in recent history.
Rugby.com.au breaks down the most impressive facts and stats behind their dominance.
England are currently on a 29-game unbeaten streak following their 92-3 demolition of Samoa.
In fact, England has lost once since November 2019 - the 2022 Rugby World Cup Final against New Zealand.
Wins against the Australians and in the quarter-final will break the record for most consecutive wins in international rugby union, which was a mark they set during their first dominant run.
Breaking down their current run, the numbers show their remarkable achievement, with an average winning margin of 39 points.
They average over 50 points per game on attack, with their defence holding teams to single digits on 14 occasions - nearly half of their wins.
Only three of their wins have been by less than double digit margins, twice of which came against France and once in Canada.
Overall, England’s winning record is 284 from 330 games (86%), with unbeaten all-time records against ten of the 18 nations they’ve played.
Only New Zealand has a winning record against the Poms. If you take the Kiwis and next best France out of the equation, England have just 11 losses from an incredible 239 games.
An excellent example of England’s dominance is its World Ranking position and the significant lead it has over the rest.
Sitting first, England have amassed 97.76 points, which is over 7.5 more than the next best, Canada and over seven more than the All Blacks - the comparable world number one on the men’s side.
In fact, the gap from England to Canada is a larger gap than the gap from the All Blacks to seventh-place Argentina. Regarding fifth place, Ireland, the same gap for the All Blacks would be to 14th-ranked Samoa.
The distance from the English to the rest is so large that the Red Roses can’t actually gain points when they play at home.
It’s only when they play the other top four nations, either Canada, New Zealand or France, away that they can extend their lead.
It means any team that actually can take them down will nab a huge bunch of points.
If Australia pull off the victory, the predictor suggests they would move into fifth from seventh, with England losing a full four points while still holding onto number one with room to spare.
The dominance of the English comes as a golden generation of talent graces the field for the Red Roses.
There are four different World Rugby Player of the Year award winners in the squad, including Emily Scarratt, Zoe Aldcroft, Marlie Packer and defending winner Ellie Kildunne.
Two-time nominee Alex Matthews is also there, one of six English in last year’s World Rugby Team of the Year and nine in the Six Nations Team of the Year.
Since the Team of the Year was created, England has never had less than a third of the representation, with winger Abby Dow (four), Matthews, Aldcroft and prop Sarah Bern (three) multiple-time nominees.
The majority of the squad returns from the 2022 campaign, feeling the need for redemption as they host a World Cup on home soil for the first time since 2010.
