As a fan I always feel if Italy got their selection right they could be more competitive. I'd love to see this team in the 6Nations

Italy 8 England 43 my estimate
not to sure about the Ford/Farrell combination tho
I think this is going to be a closer game than you'd expect. I predict England winning by a small margin 5 points or so
Why is Farrell starting
England's defense will win them the match. Italy were very good last week but France were terrible in defense. England by 15 or 20
I think Italy looked a lot fitter vs France they were unlucky to lose that the set piece from Italy were very good especially the scrums this could be a decent contest if Italy pick there best players they have avalable
They must be expecting forwards to be blowing and have to come off
6-2 split on the bench? Ok Goode can cover a few positions but it looks like a risk
Italy could win this their coming into this nearly beating a good team like Ireland in the RWC! and nearly beating France.... Its a battle of two average teams this sunday
Italy
England
