England secures Six Nations win over Italy, keeps title dreams alive

England secured a 47-24 victory over Italy in their latest Six Nations match, keeping their slim title hopes alive. Despite an early scare, England showcased a strong performance with seven tries, including two from Ollie Sleightholme. The match saw Fin Smith's continued solid play at fly-half, particularly after the early injury to Ollie Lawrence. England's attacking ambition was evident, especially in a free-flowing second half, leading to a decisive bonus-point win. However, their fate now hinges on needing to defeat Wales in Cardiff and hoping for a France loss against Scotland. This performance marks a significant step for coach Steve Borthwick's side, who are still undefeated against Italy.
