With tough tests still to come for the Welsh who have to play France and an in form Ireland side before anything is decided.
Atherton complimented the England performance at the Stade de France for being 'professional and doing the simple things well'. Nick Easter was one of the names mentioned as a stand out player along with Johnny Wilkinson and Flood who defended superbly. England head to Murrayfield to take on the Scottish who recently have been in the media spotlight for Scott MacLeod being tested positive for a drugs test.
