Yesterday at 12:58 PM
Flyhalf Fin Smith kicked 12 points as England cruised to a convincing Six Nations win against Italy at Twickenham on Sunday.
In hooker Jamie George’s 100th Test, Smith converted six of England’s seven tries in a 47-24 result that featured three tries from Italy.
Wingers Tommy Freeman and Ollie Sleightholme (2) accounted for three of those England tries, while loose forwards Tom Curry, Tom Willis and Ben Earl each crossed once and Marcus Smith added his name to the scoresheet.
For Italy, Bishops old boy Ross Vintcent, fullback Ange Capuozzo and centre Tommaso Menoncello dotted down.
The result moved England into second place on the standings, one behind leaders France and one clear of third-placed Ireland, while Italy are fifth. In the final round, England travel to Cardiff to battle Wales, while Italy host Ireland.
