What time is Italy v England kick-off? TV channel, live stream info and team news for Six Nations

England head to Rome looking to get their Six Nations campaign back on track against Italy.

What have the coaches said?

Eddie Jones, England head coach: "They are a well-coached team. They have made some really rapid progress under Kieran Crowley.

‘They have some good young players coming through. If you look at their Under-20’s over the last four to five seasons, they have done exceptionally well.

‘Now they are getting guys like Paolo Garbisi coming through. He is good enough to keep a World Cup winner like Handre Pollard on the bench at Montpellier.

‘Michele Lamaro is a very tough and strong competitor who would make most international teams and Sebastian Negri has that Zimbabwean beef with the Italian accent.

‘He brings a bit of carry and front foot rugby to their pack. They are not a team you can underestimate and you have to play well to beat them.

‘I’m sure Kieran will have them well prepared."
