Six Nations week one round-up: England struggle as Ireland make statement

Ireland resume their quest for a Six Nations Grand Slam following an absolutely epic victory over France.

The Irish arrive in Rome to face Italy in fine form having won 19 of their last 21 Tests, sitting pretty at the top of the world rankings.

The Azzurri have mustered just one victory in the 23 total Six Nations encounters between these sides, with a key goal this tournament to end a 23-game streak of home defeats

After succumbing to England 31-14 last time out at Twickenham, Italy will hope to give the Irish a scare like they did against France in the opener.
