England's Henry Slade determined to continue winning run

The England centre says he has had an "awesome" year on the rugby field.

England centre Henry Slade is determined to continue piling up the silverware by adding the Autumn Nations Cup to the titles collected last month.

Exeter won the Champions Cup and Gallagher Premiership on successive weekends and no sooner had the double been completed than Slade was helping Eddie Jones' men claim the 2020 Six Nations in Rome.

The coronavirus pandemic meant the rearranged finals and climax to the Championship had to be staged in a small window, while also creating another opportunity to lift a trophy.

The Autumn Nations Cup has replaced the traditional end-of-year-tours by the southern hemisphere giants and following comfortable victories over Georgia and Ireland, only Wales stand between England and a place in the final on December 6.

"Our kicking game and our defence is really strong, so that was where the wining of that game was – and the set piece with the forwards.

"Against Ireland, we just didn't have much ball. They attacked well and held on to the ball, but I thought we defended unbelievably.

"Some of the tackles from the forwards were absolutely insane. It's awesome to play with and see Sam Underhill and Tom Curry absolutely smashing them every time a team carries.

"And then there was Maro Itoje getting up in their face and Ellis Genge coming off the bench and writing people off.

"We can't control the weather. If it does start chucking it down we can't expect to be running from our 22.

"If conditions allow and the game dictates that is the best option then we definitely want to be doing it, but we're not going to be doing it for the sake of it, only if it is the right thing to do."
