Since February 2, the Six Nations Tournament has returned to action, four months after the World Cup in France. England is aiming for a 40th victory in the Tournament (13 GC), which would be a record.
Italy, finally, will try to avoid the wooden spoon - when a team finishes last - after having received it 13 times since entering the Tournament in 2000. England will challenge Ireland for a shock at the top, which had turned to the advantage of the XV of Clubs last year, giving the Grand Slam to Andy Farrell and his players.
