England vs Italy Six Nations 2023 live stream: Preview
Steve Borthwick's first game in charge didn't go to plan. England floundered against a superior Scotland team last weekend, as the visitors triumphed 29-23 at Twickenham. England have lots to do to get their Six Nations campaign back on track. Next up? Italy.
England again have the home advantage, and they need to capitalise. They have won all 16 of their previous encounters with Italy at Twickenham, so anything less than victory will be a disappointment.
Borthwick has shaken things up a bit ahead of Sunday's Six Nations clash. Veteran scrum-half Ben Youngs has been left out of the squad, as have flanker Ben Curry and wing Anthony Watson. Borthwick hopes that his revamped team will inject new energy into England's so-far lacklustre performance.
Italy are up for the challenge. The team has improved dramatically in recent years, with change coming from the bottom up, largely thanks to former coach Conor O'Shea's focus on the youth team. Fostering younger players has paid dividends, with Italy's under-17s and under-20s coming on leaps and bounds – the latter beat England, Scotland and Wales in last year’s Six Nations Under-20s.
In the last 12 months, the senior team have won their first Six Nations match since 2016, notched up their first win against Australia and last weekend they only narrowly lost to current Grand Slam champions France. So Italy are very much in the resurgence.
Can England remain unbeaten at home against Italy in the Six Nations? Or is this the year the Azzurri finally come good? Watch live and find out.
England vs Italy kicks off at 3pm GMT / 10am EST today, 12th February, at Twickenham. Make sure you know how to watch an England vs Italy live stream from anywhere.
