Play on halfway still in Italian hands

English defensive line look offside but nothing called. Tebaldi opts for the boot and Brown takes it well under the sun and some pressure from Italian chase. Brown to kick to the line from the mark. Long downfield

Good shove from the Italian pack and Tebaldi now dictating play from the base.

Ball ripped in the tackle from Hartley and Italian scrum to restart around halfway

Ball hit up in midfield and Hartley looks to find Brown back on the inside. Italian defence looking solid thus far.

Farrell gest us underway and Italy take it cleanly. Ball cleared, English LO just inside Italian half to restart

Time for the anthems here in Rome. Minutes from KO

England 75 - 0 Italy xD
