Six Nations Tournament: Italy impresses, but England ultimately wins. Italy has long believed in this.
But the XV de la Rose remains, with New Zealand, one of the only two nations which have never lost to the Italians. This victory allows the English to take second place in the Six Nations Tournament, behind Ireland, who beat France this Friday evening (17-38), taking the offensive bonus in the process. It was the premiere of its new coach, the Argentinian Gonzalo Quesada, who notably officiated at Racing 92 and the Stade Français.
