Top performers | Italy 23-18 England
- 349
Italy have beaten England 23-18, the first time in 35 years. A cross kick from Paolo Garbisi to Monty Ioane put Leonardo Marin away for the match winning try.

We take a look at the top performers from the clash
Italy backrow. Michele Lamaro, Manuel Zuliani and Lorenzo Cannone was massive for the home team. Zuliani made the most tackles (15), Cannone made the second most carriers (10) and 3rd most meters (59). They were all over the field on defence.
Paolo Garbisi. The flyhalf ran the show for Italy. His kicking from hand was on point and kicking off the tee accurate.
Tommaso Menoncello. Man of the match Menoncello scored a try and made the break for Marin to go over.
Federico Ruzza. When he came off the bench he ran the lineouts for Italy and made the English one a mess.

Steve Borthwick will need to pull his squad together as they have only won one out of four so far in the Six Nations.
