England's strategy change could benefit Italy significantly

Steve Borthwick has decided not to include Marcus Smith in England's lineup for their Six Nations match against Italy. This absence could boost Italy's chances, as Smith is considered a key player for England. Smith has played a crucial role in England's recent victories, even while out of position. His skills have made him a fan favorite and a potential candidate for the Lions team. With Smith sidelined, Italy may feel more confident heading into the match at Twickenham. This change marks a significant shift in England's strategy for the upcoming game.
