Match Commentary

81'+136-11 End of second half
80'Easter drives out of the 22 after taking the restart and England slow it down on the deck. Geraghty's pass to Cueto is nearly intercepted by Robertson - who knocks on and Italy win a penalty at the scrum take it quickly and Sole tries to drive on but slow possession McLean chips through but England cover and that's full time.
England will be happy with the win - but the performance is still not great. Much work will be needed before the trip to Cardiff next weekend. For the Italians once their scrum half was sorted out it was a tight performance and they will take positives into next weekend's game with Ireland
79'36-11 Conversion - Andy Goode , England
