Can 'best ever' Italy beat England for the first time?

England make the trip to Rome in the 6 Nations following two defeats and two terrible performances against Scotland and Ireland. So how much pressure are they under ahead of facing Italy on Saturday? Alfie Reynolds, Will Kelleher and Alex Lowe are on the streets of the Eternal City to look ahead to the match. They chat about the raft of changes Steve Borthwick has made for the game and what that tells us about the position England find themselves in. Is it bold selection or panic? They also speak with the Italy winger Louis Lynagh who reflects on his move from Harlequins to Benetton - where he now lives with his Italian grandad - and his time in the England setup under Eddie Jones. Plus, the boys look ahead to Ireland v Wales and Scotland vs France this weekend. *** Allianz Future Fund | Allianz Insurance Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
