England have one job when they face Italy at Twickenham this weekend: win.

Ad

Steve Borthwick's men are not winning any points for style in 2025, but crucially they are winning points.

Defeat to Ireland on the opening weekend has been followed up by single-point victories over France and Scotland to tee up a tasty final two rounds.

By the time they take to the field on Sunday, England will know whether their title ambitions have been extinguished or not, depending on the result of Ireland versus France, but they can only beat the team in front of them.

Italy showed promise against Scotland on the opening weekend before defeating Wales in Rome, but their 73-24 blowout loss to France last time out suggests they still have work to do to become truly competitive in this tournament.
