England seeks comfortable victory against Italy in Six Nations

England will face Italy in the Six Nations on March 9, aiming for a comfortable victory. They have struggled with their kicking strategy, leading the tournament in kicks but facing criticism from fans for a lack of exciting play. In a significant change, England has benched their dynamic player Marcus Smith, opting for a more cohesive lineup with Fin Smith at fly-half. This adjustment aims to improve scoring and reduce the drama seen in their recent close matches. Italy, having lost heavily to France, is looking to bounce back. They previously challenged England closely last year, and England is aware of the need to perform well to maintain their title hopes.
