England produced a stunning attacking display against Japan, running in 12 tries during their 78-15 victory at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.
Will Joseph stole the headlines with five tries, but Steve Borthwick had plenty of other reasons to smile.
Ellis Genge delivered a destructive performance up front, Maro Itoje dominated defensively, and Freddie Steward showed another side to his attacking game.
Henry Pollock also impressed, while one rising star continued to push for a bigger role.

Here are England's five standout players against Japan, plus one to watch.
1. Will Joseph
This was a first start to remember for Joseph, who scored one of the fastest four-try hauls in Test history.
Just 23 minutes separated his opening score and his fourth.
Remarkably, his hat-trick was still slower than his brother Jonathan's 18-minute treble against Italy in the 2016 Six Nations.
Joseph then equalled the men's record for tries in a match with a leaping interception in the 57th minute, sealing one of the best winger performances in recent memory.
The Gloucester man was also robust defensively, making himself busy at the breakdown and halting some promising Japanese attacks in the second half.
2. Ellis Genge
The Bristolian was at his most explosive, battering the Japanese defensive line throughout the match.
His best moment was his thundering try in the 17th minute, when he ran through Japan's Warner Dearns after helping turn the ball over with a crushing counter-ruck effort.
His role as a tone-setter seems invaluable for this growing England team.
Genge remains a key player for Borthwick and will certainly have one eye on next year's Rugby World Cup.
3. Maro Itoje
The England captain was a paragon in defence.
He made several turnovers that flipped the flow of play for the home side, pilfering and pillaging Japan around the park.
He also led an England lineout that controlled the set piece throughout the first half, helping put the result beyond doubt early on.
Often, overwhelming victories like this are chalked up to poor opposition play or moments of magic from the backs.
But Itoje's performance completely paralysed the Brave Blossoms in the opening half.
England will certainly need their captain to perform in a similar vein against a wounded All Blacks side, desperate to regain some pride after their historic defeat to Wales.
4. Freddie Steward
England's backline feasted on poor Japanese play, but Freddie Steward stood out with playmaking contributions some might not associate with the Leicester Tigers full-back.
His outside-of-the-boot grubber in the 19th minute was a moment of brilliance, curling perfectly around retreating Japanese defenders to put Joseph in for his third try.
Steward was also exceptional in the kick chase, giving England fantastic attacking platforms when exiting their own 22.
Leicester's lord of the skies certainly put his name firmly in the hat for England's number 15 shirt.
With George Furbank pushing for a return, that selection battle is becoming increasingly interesting.
Borthwick has since received a triple injury boost ahead of the All Blacks clash, with Furbank among those hoping to return.
5. Henry Pollock
While the blonde Saint failed to get in on the first-half scoring fest, he more than made up for it with excellent contributions around the field.
He carried his impressive impact-player form into the starting side, becoming one of the physical focal points of England's attack.
Numerous strong carries through traffic helped provide the front-foot ball England needed.
Pollock also stopped a potential Japanese try early in the second half with a scrambling, try-saving tackle.
This performance might not have excited fans quite as much as his usual highlight-reel moments.
However, it should silence some of his detractors who believe his current limit is as a super-sub or 'luxury' player.
One to watch: Greg Fisilau
The rising Exeter Chiefs star was a standout in the second half, despite England's slower scoring rate.
Although he looked slighter than some of the other behemoths in the England pack, he delivered three of the biggest tackles at Allianz Stadium.
He matched this physicality in attack with several bruising carries that kept England's performance on song, even as Borthwick made several early second-half changes.
Fisilau underlined an already impressive performance with a maul try in the 73rd minute.
Borthwick's biggest issue with England may now be his overflowing wealth of back-rowers.
With the All Blacks next and the Six Nations on the horizon, competition for places is only getting fiercer.
