England will host Italy at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium on March 9, aiming to keep its Six Nations title hopes alive.

With three consecutive victories in sight under head coach Steve Borthwick, England must secure a bonus-point win to stay in contention for the championship.

Italy, eager to bounce back after a heavy loss to France, will look to improve with several changes to its lineup.

Despite England’s 31-0 record against Italy, the Azzurri proved last year they no longer are an easy opponent. With a dynamic midfield pairing of Brex and Menoncello, Italy’s backline will pose a serious challenge.

Here’s what to know as England host Italy on March 9:
