Re: England v Italy
well done to cole unlucky for flood but he is not a 12. I would expect this team to put 30-40 points on italy if they can allow the game to flow or italy may just kill the game to limit us to 15-25 points either way win number 2 should be comfortably on its way.

Italy won't roll over at home,they are a proud team and will give there best,luckily for England I don't think that will be enough.A comfortable win,but the days of hammering the Italians at home are gone,seem to remember the all blacks only beat them by a dozen or so points not so long ago.

Re: England v Italy
I read somewhere today that alot of the squard are poorly 
with some sort of Virus with both Borthwick and Shaw missing training and Lewis only taking part in light sessions.... although MJ claimed that Lewis was in a non-contact bib to protect everyone else rather than himself
