After a narrow defeat last week, England will be keen to get their 2022 Six Nations campaign back on track with a win against Italy. Coach Eddie Jones has rung the changes, with twice-capped Harry Randall starting in place of Ben Youngs, Jack Nowell getting another chance out on the wing, Jamie George in at hooker, Will Stuart as the new tight-head prop and Charlie Ewels in at lock.
The Azzurri have made three changes after losing 37-10 to France last week. South African-born flanker Braam Steyn is in, but wing Tommaso Menoncello - Italy's only try-scorer against Les Bleus - is out with an injury. Pietro Ceccarelli comes into the front row while Paolo Garbisi starts at fly-half.
Last week, Scotland stunned England to win the Calcutta Cup for the second year in a row. The Red Rose have never lost to Italy but coach Eddie Jones remains cautious, calling on his young side to "light up" Rome and continue that record come Sunday.

Watch Italy vs England from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant 2022 Guinness Six Nations rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet, helping you access local streams from anywhere – and saving you money!
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For Italy vs England, you may wish to choose 'UK' for ITV Hub.
3. Then head over to ITV Hub on your browser or device and enjoy the free Italy vs England live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
