Match report
I’m still slack-jawed. I said at the start that I wouldn’t be shocked if Italy won, but that’s clearly not the case.
History made. What a night for Italian rugby. A new low for England and Steve Borthwick who must be wondering if he’ll still have a job in two weeks.
Rob Kitson was lucky enough to be there and has produced a report worthy of the occasion.
Thanks for joining us this weekend.
Now let’s hear from Maro Itoje, who must want to be anywhere else right now:
It’s obviously disappointing. It’s on us as players. We have to wear the performance. This team over the last year has put in good performances. We haven’t recently. We have to face that and get back to work.
We have to figure it out. If we knew why we wouldn’t be in this position. Teams go through tough periods. We’re in a tough period now.
We’re in a results based business and we have to own the result. As captain I take responsibility for that.
