England vs Italy – Six Nations 2023: Stream FREE, TV channel, kick-off time and team news for Twickenham clash
ENGLAND are looking to get their first win of the Six Nations campaign with a victory over resurgent Italy.
The Red Rose will be determined to put their Calcutta Cup defeat to Scotland behind them.
