THE PREDICTION
England were ultimately not good enough in their clash with Scotland last week and will need to be better here as they play host to a dangerous Italy outfit. The visitors look to have something special brewing and pushed France close last week in what was an eye-catching performance against the side that won the Grand Slam last year. England have made some tactical tweaks for this contest with new coach Steve Borthwick hoping it has the desired effect. The hosts should win but it could be a close affair with both teams capable of producing some good attacking play and that should result in over 42.5 points being scored.
