THE PREDICTION
On the back of an encouraging effort at the Rugby World Cup, England will hope to begin their Six Nations campaign in style as they head to Rome to take on Italy. Steve Borthwick will hand out a few debuts in this game with his side looking strong as well as boasting plenty of potential. Italy have struggled for any sort of form over the past few years and it is hard to see them causing an upset here.
TIP: England -10
