England's record-equalling run - Match by match
By Christopher Devine
Ireland dashed England's hopes of securing a second successive Six Nations Grand Slam on Saturday - a defeat that also denied the reigning champions a record breaking 19th successive win.
England matched New Zealand's marker of 18 with a thumping victory over Scotland last weekend, opening the door for them to claim the outright record for consecutive triumphs by a tier-one nation.
However, a 13-9 defeat at the Aviva Stadium means England must now settle for a share of that honour with the All Blacks.
The first of England's sequence of wins came at the end of Stuart Lancaster's reign, as Uruguay were beaten in a Rugby World Cup dead rubber.
Eddie Jones duly succeeded Lancaster and did not taste defeat as head coach until Saturday.
We take a look at England's results during their record-equalling run.

It’ll be very interesting to see how Razor’s AB’s handle the new England rush D. It’s basically the Bok recipe they copied, so if England goes well then we know most likely the Boks will go well too. If England cops a hiding then we’ll have to study and adapt.
