Andy Farrell demanded England rise to the second of their five cup finals when they face Italy at Twickenham today.

Farrell believes the 21-16 victory over Wales last weekend has generated a “feel-good factor” and the Red Rose have since been installed as new favourites to win a first Six Nations title under Stuart Lancaster.

Success against Italy will set-up a mouth-watering showdown against Ireland in Dublin on March 1 and Farrell has urged England to continue building momentum in their pursuit of silverware.
