Italy host England in round 2 of the Six Nations Championship. Both sides will look to bounce back from opening week defeats, as Italy lost 37-10 away to France, while England went down 20-17 in the Calcutta Cup away to Scotland. Head to head these sides have played on 28 occasions, with England winning all of them. Last season England ran out 41-18 winners.
