Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this Women's Six Nations clash between Italy and England at the Stadio Gino Pistoni. The home side have yet to get themselves on the scoreboard in this competition following a crushing 39-0 defeat at the hands of the French last weekend. On the other hand, England are yet to concede a point in the competition following a sterling 32-0 victory away at Scotland in Round 1. With the English U20s winning yesterday evening, the English Womens will be looking to contribute to a clean sweep over the Italians this weekend, but can the Italian Women cause an upset?
