England put on a second half fightback to secure a slender 27-24 victory against Italy at Stadio Olimpico in Rome to get their 2024 Six Nations campaign off to a positive start.
It was quite the tale of two halves, Italy impressing in attack in the first 40 and taking a 17-14 lead at the break, tries from debutant Alessandro Garbisi and Tomasso Allan putting them in front.

England countered through Elliot Daly and three times from the boot of George Ford but were unable to nullify the strike threat of the hosts in the first half.
The visitors came out more determined in the second 40 and after Alex Mitchell forced his way over and Ford was clinical three more times from the tee, England had a 27-17 lead, their experience combining with some youthful flair.
It was a fast-paced and penalty-filled first five minutes at the Stadio Olimpico, the hosts taking advantage of Maro Itoje being caught offside to claim a 3-0 lead from the boot of Tommaso Allan.
The Rome crowd then erupted 12 minutes in as Italy extended their advantage with a brilliant attacking try, scrum-half Alessandro Garbisi diving over on his debut after a sensational break from Lorenzo Cannone.

"A mixed bag I'd say. I was really pleased with some of the endeavour, and the boys dug in at times. We probably had a few growing pains in there.
"A lot of new faces in that squad, the way we rallied around, understood the message and got on with it, the second half was more what we are about.
"The thing that pleased me the most is that we were pushing and trying things. Playing at a different intensity.
"We want to be physical, the best England teams are. We weren't perfect and know we'll have to be better going into Wales, but it's a good start."
