England`s 59-14 win over Japan marks a crucial turnaround, with Tom Curry`s return boosting hopes for the Six Nations.

England ended their five-game losing streak with a resounding 59-14 victory over Japan at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. This comprehensive win showcased the team`s potential and marked a significant turnaround under coach Steve Borthwick. Tom Curry`s return to the lineup was a pivotal factor, as he led the charge against a youthful Japanese side. George Furbank also made a notable contribution, while Asher Opoku-Fordjour was poised to make his debut from the bench.

Despite missing key players like Elliot Daly and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso due to injuries, England`s performance was a breath of fresh air for fans and players alike. The match not only boosted morale but also set the stage for the upcoming 2025 Six Nations tournament, which kicks off on January 31. England will compete against traditional rivals Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, and Italy in a round-robin format, aiming to reclaim the title they last won in 2020.

Ben Youngs, England`s most-capped men`s player, has predicted that France will likely retain their crown, while England is expected to push hard for second place. However, Anthony Watson remains optimistic, believing that England has what it takes to secure the Six Nations title. With the momentum from this victory, England is poised to make a strong statement in the upcoming tournament. For more details on the fixtures, check out the full schedule here.
