Itoje defends England's attack before facing Italy

Maro Itoje defended England's attack ahead of their match against Italy in the Guinness Six Nations. Despite criticism, he stated that their performance is not as poor as perceived, highlighting their three tries against Ireland and four against France. Coach Steve Borthwick has made changes to the lineup, dropping Marcus Smith and Henry Slade for Elliot Daly and Fraser Dingwall. England currently ranks fourth in the try-scoring table, with only eight tries in three games. Itoje acknowledged the need for improvement but emphasized the team's potential. England aims to secure a win against Italy, who have lost all 31 previous encounters with them.
