Eddie Jones insists the vision of Owen Farrell and George Ford acts as the catalyst for England's "collective talent" to flourish.
The two playmakers combined on numerous occasions as England unpicked Italy during the 46-15 victory in their Six Nations opener.
Despite their impressive performance, England head coach Jones insists his midfield could still change but heaped praise on Farrell and Ford for their collaboration.
"We don't have a lot of big carriers so we've got to be inventive in how we play," Jones said.
"The pleasing thing against Italy was that we invented stuff that gave us momentum. George and Owen together, they see the game better than anyone.
"I still don't know if my view of those two has changed. The best option may be Ford and Ben Te'o, the best option might be Farrell and Ben Te'o, or we might want Alex Lozowski in there.
"We're not sure but we keep looking and George and Owen together give us plenty of options.
"They're getting a great understanding together on how to play and use their collective talent."
Jones was delighted by the dominance of his scrum in the successful start to their title defence at the Stadio Olimpico, describing it as the best set-piece performance of his reign and adding "that's English rugby".
The Australian credits scrum coach Neal Hatley and the contribution of consultant Marc dal Maso for the improvements made.
"It did well because of great work done by Neal Hatley and also great physical development by the players. They've got stronger and are more flexible so we can scrum lower," Jones said.
"Dal Maso has floated in. He's a crazy scientist who has got the perfect picture of a scrum in his head. I've never met a bloke like him. He brings something different because he's got so many unusual thoughts.
"He might bring six things forward and one of them will be absolutely brilliant. It's a great resource for us to have him there."
England will be without scrum-half Ben Youngs for the remainder of the tournament after suffering knee ligament damage in the win against Italy.
Saracens' Richard Wigglesworth has been called up to the squad, with Danny Care expected to start in the number nine jersey.
