Stuart Lancaster’s side have swept all
before them in this year’s championship with Scotland, Ireland and
France all put to the sword with a mix of power, pace and precision.
England will enter the game as clear
favourites having never lost to the Italians and dominated them at
Twickenham – winning their most recent encounter at HQ by 46 points. But
the Azzurri pushed England all the way in Rome last year and their
stunning victoryover France last month underlined the fact that at their
best they are a threat to all their Six Nations rivals. But
unfortunately they have failed to back that impressive showing up with
Scotland and then Wales bringing them crashing back down to earth.
The odds are stacked heavily in
England’s favour but they will be wary of writing off their rivals who
received a major boost earlier this week when captain Sergio Parisse won
an appeal against a recent ban that cleared him for action.
England – Player to Watch:
Some would have you believe that Chris Ashton does not deserve a place
in the current England side but can he recapture the kind of form that
saw him claim four tries the last time Italy visited Twickenham.
England – Team News:
Saracens prop Mako Vunipola is handed his first start in the place of
Joe Marler while Tom Youngs returns at hooker with Dylan Hartley making
way. Toby Flood reclaims the No.10 shirt with Owen Farrell yet to
recover from a thigh injury he suffered against France. Flood will
partner Danny Care who gets the nod over Ben Youngs at scrum-half with
James Haskell preferred at blindside flanker instead of Courtney Lawes
in the other change to the starting line-up. A fit-again Freddie Burns
will provide fly-half cover on the bench and joining him among the
replacements is Tom Croft who returns to the England fold 11 months
after a broken neck almost left him paralysed.
Italy- Player to Watch:
Italy captain Sergio Parisse is more used to picking up Man of the
Match awards rather than suspensions so expect him to do all he can he
hits the headlines for the right reasons following this game.
Italy – Team News:
Sergio Parisse returns from suspension at No.8 and reclaims the
captaincy with Manoa Vosawai making way in one of five changes to the
pack that started the defeat to Wales last month. Roberto Barbieri
starts at blindside ahead Alessandro Zanni while Quentin Geldenhuys and
Joshua Furno form a new second row pairing with Antonio Pavanello and
Francesco Minto dropping to the bench. In the final change up front,
Alberto De Marchi is preferred to veteran Andrea Lo Cicero. Luciano
Orquera returns to the No.10 shirt with Kris Burton omitted while
Gonzalo Garcia comes into the midfield with Gonzalo Canale moving to
outside centre and Tommaso Benvenuti named among the replacement.
Key Battle: Italy’s
formidable pack took a bit of a hammering at the hands of Wales and the
referee last time out and will no doubt be determined to reassert
themselves with a strong showing at Twickenham – but this England pack
are made of equally impressive stuff and have no reason to fear anyone.
Their battle will be bruising and enthralling and will go a long way to
deciding the contest.
