Is it just me, or is it the case that in spite of a brilliant record results-wise, England rarely play that well under EJ?

We generally win in the last 10 minutes having bludgeoned the opposition and our 'finishers' come on feeling fresh. We are also good enough to stop pretty much any team from playing exciting rugby against us, so over all the spectacle can be a bit flat.
The continual injuries to Billy Vunipola have gotten beyond a joke now. Id be tempted to ban him from playing for Saracens
England won’t win the six nations this year, so there will be at least one loss there.I don’t think the squad, collectively, made enough progress in the autumn internationals to bridge the gap created by all the injuries. Ideally players like Sam Simmons and a new full back should be more established in the side.
I think the injuries to key players makes the 6 nations a really good test for us. It's an opportunity to test our depth.
