England saw off second half resilience by Italy to record their first win of this year's Six Nations competition with a 31-14 victory at Twickenham.
Three unanswered first half tries through Jack Willis, Ollie Lawrence and Ollie Chessum put the hosts in firm control 19-0 ahead at half-time. However, Italy provided tough resistance in the second half with Marco Riccioni pulling them back into the match with his side's opening try.
The try shocked England back into life and their pressure eventually resulted in the visitors conceded a penalty try. When Allessandro Fusco found a gap in the England defence to score Italy's second try they were given renewed hope.
