England seeks to maintain perfect Six Nations record
England will defend their unbeaten Six Nations record against Italy this weekend. They have won all 25 matches played between the two teams since Italy joined the tournament in 2000. Italy has shown improvement, recently beating Wales, but they have never defeated England. Last year's match was close, with England winning 27-24. England aims for a bonus point win to stay in title contention. Historically, they have dominated Italy, but recent matches have been more competitive.
