LONDON - England ran in eight tries as they outclassed and overpowered an injury-hit Italy 57-14 at Twickenham on Saturday to stay in the hunt for the Six Nations title going into the final round of fixtures.
Tuilagi, whose last international try came against Italy five years ago, added his second after the break, with lock George Kruis, replacement scrumhalf Dan Robson and Shields also crossing. “It was a really good response from us, we bounced back,” coach Eddie Jones told reporters in reference to their defeat in Cardiff two weeks ago.
Italy host France next week assured of finishing last for the fourth season in a row after Saturday’s 21st successive defeat in the competition and their 25th in 25 meetings with England. Last time they came to Twickenham two years ago Italy had England in trouble via their “no-ruck” tactic but they had no tricks and precious little regulation play in a one-sided contest as England dominated every area.George was shoved over the line for the opening try, with flyhalf Tommaso Allan responding in the visitors’ first attack.
