England stand on the brink of their first Grand Slam since 2003, needing victory over France in Paris on Saturday to secure their place in the history books.
The last five Test matches between the sides have been won by the home team, but Eddie Jones' men will fancy their chances of defeating a French side in disarray.
Let's examine the standout players in their march to title glory.
Billy Vunipola
England's player of the championship, with man-of-the-match displays against Scotland and Ireland - a growing force who has flourished under head coach Jones.
Jones has put an arm around his young No 8, giving him greater authority on and off the pitch, and is reaping the rewards.
Vunipola's greatest strength is his ball-carrying, which is effective even from a standing start, and he is being used wisely by taking the ball from positions that are not limited to the half-backs.
Jones believes he has the potential to become the best No 8 in the world and, on the evidence of this Six Nations, he might be right.
Dylan Hartley
Viewed by many as a controversial appointment as captain due to his dismal disciplinary record, but is proving to be an inspired choice.
A natural leader and fine player who was at his best against Ireland and Wales.
George Kruis
The Saracen has established himself as England's standout second row during a Six Nations of remarkable consistency.
An accomplished lineout operator as befits any protege of Steve Borthwick's and a menace around the field.
Ben Youngs
England raced out of the blocks against Wales and central to their dominance for 50 minutes was their scrum-half, who kept the visiting back row on their toes with his threat around the fringes.
Also impressed against Ireland and is first-choice No 9.
Owen Farrell
Adapting well to inside centre and although unable to offer the gain-line threat of a Manu Tuilagi, his hands and vision make him a valuable second playmaking option outside George Ford.
Kicked masterfully from the tee against Wales.
It is hard to recall a player whose emergence has caused so much excitement as Maro Itoje. Still only 21 years old, the supremely athletic Saracen appears to have it all.
Against Wales he delivered a near-perfect performance, stealing ball at the lineout, snatching a turnover, delivering shuddering hits and even making a break to set up Anthony Watson's try.
Jones believes he needs more snarl and insists his greatest threat is not remaining grounded, but a long and successful future surely beckons.
