England ease to win in Italy

England made it back-to-back wins under Eddie Jones with a win over Italy in Rome that started slowly but ultimately ended at pace.

A disjointed first half was enlivened by George Ford's try off turnover possession, although Carlo Canna's boot kept the Azzuri within a score.

However, two quick tries from Jonathan Joseph, his fifth and sixth in his past seven Six Nations matches, calmed English anxieties.

The Bath centre then completed his hat-trick with a powerful run into the left-hand corner before Owen Farrell gathered Jamie George's classy offload to score England's fifth try.

Having beaten the two traditionally weakest nations, England - who included Exeter Chiefs star Jack Nowell (pictured) in their starting XV - now face the sterner test of Ireland in a fortnight before Wales come calling two weeks further on.

But with their next two matches at home they have the opportunity to build on these early if predictable successes and lay down the blueprint for what a Jones team will really look like.

Up against Nowell in Rome this afternoon was his Exeter club-mate Michele Campagnaro, who was among the pick of the Italian players who themselves will now have to regroup for their upcoming home clash with Scotland.
