Eddie Jones’ men were defeated 21-13 by Wales last weekend but thanks to racking up two bonus points in the opening pair of matches, they remain in strong contention for the trophy.

However, England’s penultimate game against Italy is a must-win.

The Italians are bottom of the table after three consecutive losses and go into the clash on British soil as rank outsiders.

Both England and table-toppers Wales are yet to play Scotland, though Wales face a tricky final game against Ireland.
