Forsyth scored the fifth of England’s five tries against Scotland as they made it three wins from three following earlier victories over Italy and France.
Fellow Tigers Harrison and Hurrell were also a key part of England’s success, playing 50 and 65 minutes respectively in the 32-5 win over the Scots at Musgrave Park.
England’s unbeaten record in the three-match Six Nations Festival followed a pre-tournament victory over Wales in Worcester and capped a fine season for Alex Sanderson’s side.
“I am delighted and the boys are ecstatic,” said head coach Sanderson. “This was a good win but just as importantly it means we have defeated all our opponents, and they have been tough opponents this season.
“In the short term, we have a development tour to Argentina in August and I’m sure this will be a great experience for all these players. In the long term, I am sure several of these lads have a really bright future ahead of them. I wouldn’t be surprised if they replicate the talent of the England U-19s team in 2005. That team included the likes of Danny Cipriani, Shane Geraghty and Nick Abendanon who have all gone on to play for England seniors since. There is some real talent here.
“Tuesday’s match was especially pleasing. In the first half we really took the game to Scotland. Even though they came out very passionately, we stuck to the structures we have put in place all season and we were able to dominate. In that first half we scored 27 points alone and that was very satisfying when we came in at the break.
“After the restart we lost a bit of our structure and that was a little frustrating, but the boys managed to stay dominant and secure the win and ensure we finished our season with four wins from four. The players certainly deserve it as they are a great bunch of lads.”
