England 47-24 Italy
by David Nicholson 
at Twickenham

ENGLAND move above Ireland into second place on points difference in their quest to win the Six Nations championship after beating Italy at Twickenham today.

The men in white are the only side the Azzurri have not beaten in the Six Nations and didn’t look close to an upset as England build a commanding score.

Ireland travel to Rome next Saturday and should beat Italy by a big enough margin to overhaul the seven-points difference England built with this victory.
