2025 Six Nations preview: England v Italy
Everything you need to know as England host Italy in the penultimate round of the 2025 Guinness Men's Six Nations.
Steve Borthwick’s England will head into the match with confidence after securing two hard-fought wins against France and Scotland and currently sit third in the table, four points behind leaders Ireland and one point behind France.
The hosts have the added assurance of a perfect win record against Italy, who were dealt a heavy 24-73 defeat by Les Bleus in the previous round.
However, the Azzurri took England close in 2024 and will look to build on some strong performances in this year’s tournament, most notably besting Wales 22-15 in Rome.
