Scores from Jack Willis, Ollie Chessum, Jamie George, Henry Arundell and a penalty try, as well as four points from the boot of Owen Farrell secured the victory, as the hosts held off a game Italy side whose tries came from Marco Riccioni and Alessandro Fusco.
England showed early attacking promise from the lineout. First, Ellis Genge combined with Farrell as the fly half threaded a low kick to the corner for the onrushing Max Malins, who was just beaten to the ball by Edoardo Padovani. Then on 11 minutes, flanker Willis peeled off the back of a five metre lineout rolling maul to score the opener. Farrell added the extras for a 7-0 lead.
