England's Quest for a Convincing Win

England will host Italy at Twickenham on Sunday, seeking to maintain their hopes of a first Six Nations title since 2020. Steve Borthwick's side will look to put in a convincing attacking performance after their narrow win over Scotland in round three attracted criticism. England have scored at least four tries in 10 of the 12 Six Nations meetings against Italy at Twickenham and another bonus-point win would move them into second in the standings behind title favorites France.

Italy's Bid for a Historic Win

Italy will be smarting following a heavy home defeat by France two weeks ago, but the visitors will take confidence from a close contest the last time they faced England in Rome in 2024. The Azzurri led at half-time and went on to lose by just three points, their narrowest margin of defeat in this particular Six Nations fixture. Gonzalo Quesada's side has made six changes to their starting lineup, including the introduction of London-born winger Matt Gallagher, who makes his Six Nations debut.

  • Key players to watch:
  • England: Elliot Daly, Jamie George, Marcus Smith
  • Italy: Ange Capuozzo, Monty Ioane, Paolo Garbisi
  • TV coverage: ITV1, RTÉ2, TV8, France 2
  • Live streams: ITVX, RTÉ Player, FranceTV
  • Kick-off time: 3:00 pm GMT / 4:00 pm CET

The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams looking to make a statement in the Six Nations championship. Will England's attacking prowess be too much for Italy, or can the Azzurri pull off a historic win at Twickenham? Tune in to find out.
