Steve Borthwick's rein as England coach got off to a false start at Twickenham last weekend, and he will hope for a much improved display against Italy.

England were defeated 23-29 at the hands of Scotland as the visitors produced a display of class, topped off with a match-winning try from Duhan van der Merwe.

There were flickers of encouragement from England throughout, but fans will have seen nothing to suggest a surge to the title is imminent this time around.

England take on Italy in a dangerous showdown that Kieran Crowley's men will be eyeing up with great interest given his side's recent resurgence.

The Italy coach saw his side narrowly lose to reigning champions France in their opener. Italy appear to have come on leaps and bounds over the past year and will see England as a scalp for the taking, despite entering the game as underdogs.
