We’re a good team – Elliot Daly sure England ready to push for Six Nations title

Elliot Daly insists England can continue their push for the Guinness Six Nations title emboldened by a victory over France that rewarded their refusal to be beaten.

Daly’s final-minute try, combined with Fin Smith’s conversion, sealed a dramatic 26-25 triumph at Allianz Stadium that has given England lift-off after they opened the tournament with defeat in Dublin.

 

Head coach Steve Borthwick had urged his players to keep aiming to score tries when the pressure is on and they responded with Fin Baxter and Daly going over in a final 10 minutes that saw the lead change hands three times

 

England have been unable to close out winning positions for most of the last year, losing seven successive matches against top-tier opposition in the process.

Daly believes that getting over the line against France serves as validation of who they are as a team.
