England v Italy prediction
England are not out of the running after one game, let's be clear about that, but they cannot afford another slip-up.
Jones has spoken about how England "tried to do too many things" against Scotland, despite not having adequate time in training camp to perfectly execute their new ideas.
If England can go back to basics, their raw talent cold be enough to claw back into contention, starting with a routine win over Italy.
Prediction: England win
