England’s unbeaten Six Nations run against Italy now extends to 23 games following their 33-nil win in the Stadio Olimpico.

The visitors built a 21-nil half-time lead thanks to Marcus Smith’s early score plus a Jamie George brace.

Elliot Daly extended their advantage soon after the restart, but thereafter England endured a frustrating second half plagued by handling errors and the concession of eight penalties before Kyle Sinckler finished a flowing move.

    Zebo on France v Ireland

    Head coach Eddie Jones made six changes to the England side which lost to Scotland at Murrayfield last weekend plus two positional switches.

    Joe Marchant moved from the left wing to outside centre leaving space for Jack Nowell to make his first start since the 2019 Six Nations. Bristol’s Harry Randall replaced Ben Youngs at scrum-half.

    In the front row George and Will Stuart were introduced at hooker and tight-head prop while Charlie Ewels came into the second row with Maro Itoje moving to blindside flanker. Alex Dombrandt replaced Sam Simmonds at number eight.

    Italy head coach Kieran Crowley made three changes to the side which suffered a 33rd consecutive Six Nations defeat in Paris last Sunday.

    Federico Mori was preferred on the wing to try-scoring debutant Tommaso Menoncello while Pietro Ceccarelli replaced Tiziano Pasquali at prop and Braam Steyn started at flanker with Sebastien Negri dropped to the bench.

    15. Freddie Steward – 7.5
    An always-present attacking threat roaming in the outside channels who played a big part in his team’s third try.

    14. Max Malins – 7.5
    Lost the ball forward when attempting a one-handed offload in the Italy 22 but soon made amends by sending Smith over for his country’s opening try. As solid under the high ball as he was in the tackle. Unselfishly sent Sinckler over late on when he could have gone the direct route.

    13. Joe Marchant – 7
    Saw plenty of the ball in the first half when he often got over the gain-line. Looked completely at home in his preferred no.13 shirt where he consistently took the right attacking option. A poor kick ended a counter attack opportunity midway through the second half.

    12. Henry Slade – 8
    Used his big left boot to good effect in the first quarter to pin Italy back from inside England’s 22. His lovely long pass released Malins soon after the restart and the Exeter centre narrowly failed to claim a last-second try when the TMO found separation in his attempted grounding.

    11. Jack Nowell – 6
    1065 days after his last England start Nowell spilled his first pass in contact. Thereafter he was typically industrious popping up with ball in hand and making a nuisance of himself in defence before frustratingly departing before the end of the opening quarter with concussion.

    10. Marcus Smith – 9
    Given time and space England’s current poster boy went through his full array of skills. Created and finished England’s first try with a lovely check and exchange of passes with Malins and their fourth with a long, flat pass to Daly. Showed he can also tackle when making a crucial last-ditch hit on Federico Mori. Blotted his copybook slightly by failing to reach the ten-metre line with a restart.

    9. Harry Randall – 8.5
    Making his first Six Nations start, the Bristol no.9’s slick service was immediately apparent and he also twice put boot to ball to good effect in the opening quarter before badly over-cooking a box kick. His trademark sniping pace created England’s second try plus Itoje’s disallowed ‘score’ and kept the hosts’ fringe defence honest throughout.

    1. Ellis Genge – 5.5
    Another England player whose first touch went forward and as Lawrence Dallaglio observed in commentary too often faced a battle to retain control of the ball in contact. Produced a lovely floated pass in the outside channel to create George’s second score on the stroke of half-time before his forward pass ended a move which seemed destined to produce a fourth score soon after the restart.

    2. Jamie George – 9
    Scored England’s second and third tries – the latter with an impressive burst and agile finish – and played a full part in England’s well-oiled lineout which had a 100 per cent return when he departed.

    3. Will Stuart – 6
    The Bath prop’s early nerves were not helped by his concession of a first-minute penalty at the lineout, but he soon made amends by forcing a maul turnover. Carried hard and did his share of the donkey work defensively before being replaced at half-time.

    4. Charlie Ewels – 6.5
    Involved in England’s second try, soared to good effect under Italy’s restarts and played his part in their excellent lineout operation.

    5. Nick Isiekwe – 6
    Carried usefully in the build-up to England’s second try before being penalised for the lineout blocking which saw Itoje’s touchdown ruled out. Another whose lineout work impressed.

    6. Maro Itoje – 8
    Used regularly as a lineout option and more prominent as a carrier than usual following his shift from the second row to the blindside. Thought he’d scored from close range only for the TMO to intervene.

    7. Tom Curry – 7
    Unlucky that his charge-down of Paolo Garbisi didn’t produce more. Got his hands on the ball in the outside channels as well as closer to the coalface where he put in a characteristically action-packed shift. Perhaps fortunate to avoid a ‘red zone’ yellow card when Italy made their first serious entry into England’s 22 in the 50th minute.

    8. Alex Dombrandt – 6
    Smashed regularly and hard into Italy’s front-line defence without finding the sort of space he enjoys at domestic level. Twice won penalties on the ground when Italy’s carriers got isolated.

    REPLACEMENTS
    16. Luke Cowan-Dickie – 6
    Replaced George in the 55th minute and started with a perfect long throw before missing his target at the second and third times of asking. Marked his first-time ascent to the captaincy following Curry’s departure by winning a penalty on the ground five metres from England’s line.

    17. Joe Marler – 6
    The fourth-quarter replacement for Genge had little chance to shine.

    18. Kyle Sinckler – 7.5
    Arrived at half-time and made an immediate impression by winning penalties against the feed in the opening two scrums of the second half. Got his name on the scoresheet late on.

    19. Ollie Chessum – 7
    Leicester’s 21-year-old lock made his England debut with 15 minutes remaining and snaffled a turnover following an Italian knock-on.

    20. Sam Simmonds – 6
    Arrived in the 55th minute and found little opportunity with ball in hand.

    21. Ben Youngs – 6
    Moved alongside Jason Leonard as England’s most-capped player when he appeared from the bench for his 114th international but frustrated England fans by box kicking possession away following his forwards’ 15-metre lineout drive.

    22. George Ford – 6
    Played the last few minutes alongside Smith.

    23. Elliot Daly – 8.5
    Arrived as an HIA replacement for Nowell in the 16th minute and saw plenty of action with ball in hand. Claimed a high ball with a huge leap at the start of the move which ended with his team’s third try then scored their fourth. His best England display for a while.

    Dan Sheehan: What Ireland have been 'talking about' all week ahead of Wales

    Individuals should exercise extreme caution in the investment landscape, as numerous fraudulent investment companies and deceptive recovery firms operate globally. The difficulty in withdrawing funds from trading accounts, or the experience of complete financial loss, is unfortunately a common occurrence. These situations often involve sophisticated schemes designed to exploit unsuspecting investors. For example, Ponzi schemes promise exceptionally high returns with minimal risk, attracting investors who subsequently lose their principal investments when the scheme collapses. Another common tactic involves fraudulent brokers who manipulate trading platforms or provide false information to induce losses. Furthermore, many victims fall prey to scam recovery firms that promise to retrieve stolen funds but instead demand upfront fees without delivering on their promises. These firms often operate anonymously and lack any legitimate regulatory oversight. MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs offers guidance and assistance to individuals who have experienced such financial losses. Our services encompass a comprehensive assessment of the situation, identification of the perpetrators, and the pursuit of legal avenues for fund recovery. This process may involve collaborating with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and legal professionals to build a robust case for restitution. It is crucial to remember that recovering stolen funds requires patience, diligence, and a thorough understanding of the legal processes involved. While MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs strives to provide effective solutions, the success of any recovery effort is dependent on various factors, including the nature of the fraud, the availability of evidence, and the cooperation of relevant authorities. Therefore, prospective clients should approach the process with realistic expectations and a commitment to full transparency and cooperation.
