Genge apologises to England fans after Ireland thrashing
Before the Six Nations started, England head coach Steve Borthwick talked about facing France in Paris on 14 March being a possible title decider.
"We want to be in a position in that game to get what we all want to achieve. We want English fans flooding across the channel to get there and watch that game," he said.
A repeat of the 2016 Grand Slam in Paris was the goal, with a first title since 2020 also a reasonable outcome.
Instead, two heavy back-to-back defeats, with two games left, makes that trip to Paris now very daunting.
