Not seen all the match yet but it looks to have been one of those scrappy games it'd have been easy for England to lose. If they're going to progress to bigger and better things England need to win matches like this and carve out results when everything isn't going to plan. They seem to be able to do this but next week's game against Ireland away will be a very tough test of character. It could go either way but I wouldn't rule out nerves getting the better of England and a fairly comfortable Ireland victory. They'll rightly be hurting after being on the wrong end of a truly shocking decision against the Welsh and will also want to deny England the grand slam. As for England, well they're doing the right things at last but really ought to be thinking further ahead to the RWC at which I reckon the southern hemisphere sides are going to be the ones to watch.
