They opened with a 58–7 win over Scotland at Kingston Park in Newcastle and followed it with a 68–5 victory over Italy at Franklin's Gardens in Northampton.
Away wins over Wales, 59–3 at Cardiff Arms Park, and Ireland, 48–0 at Musgrave Park in Cork, set up the final round at Twickenham, where England beat France 38–33 in the key match of the campaign to complete the clean sweep.
