ENGLAND take on Italy at Twickenham, with the Italian’s looking for a first win over the English in their rugby union history.
Steve Borthwick‘s England project has not been without its critics, but Borthwick’s side are finally getting onto the winning side of the tight score lines they used to be on the wrong side of.

Two HUGE clashes have already taken place at Twickenham, with England edging past France with a last minute try, and regaining the Calcutta Cup in a tense affair against Scotland.
England can take the title to Super Saturday with a win, but it would take something remarkable for Ireland to drop the ball from here.
Gonzalo Quesada has got the Italian side ticking, and they look set to avoid the Wooden Spoon for the second time in two years.
However, he faces a tall order at Twickenham, as Italy have lost every game they have played against England in history.
The Italian’s looked competitive in a loss to Scotland, and got past Wales in an entertaining clash, but were smacked back down to earth by the rampant French attack.
