Italy v England (Six Nations)

[Highlander999]

After a shock defeat against Wales, last week, England will be looking for a solid victory against Italy. Italy came very close to causing an upset against Ireland. Can they go the full distance this week?

Having seen England's team for this week, I can see Italy pulling off an upset, although I expect England to win by 10-15 points.

England try to lose it, but eventually manage to scrape a victory.

That would be very anglo-centric of you. Italy dominated England's pack in the second half, and if their lineout had been better, then I have to believe that Italy would've got their first win over England.

As it is, it is the closest Italy have ever come against England - showing how much they have improved! :cool:
