ENGLAND vs ITALY GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

ENGLAND STATISTICS

- England lost to Scotland at Twickenham on the opening weekend of this year’s Six Nations, they’ve not lost back-to-back games at home in the 5/6 Nations since 1983 (v France & Scotland).

- England have won their Round 2 match in each of their previous 11 Six Nations campaigns, last losing their second game of the campaign back in 2009 (15-23 v Wales).

- Since the start of the 2018 Six Nations England have won 80 of 82 scrums on their own feed in the Championship, the best success rate of any side in that time (98%).

- Owen Farrell has scored 112 points against Italy in eight previous encounters with them, his average of 14 points per game is his best rate against anyone he has faced more than once; 15 of those 112 points have come from three tries, more than he has scored against the other Six Nations sides combined (1 v France and 1 v Scotland).

- Jonny May has 31 tries for England, one more would leave him in standalone second spot on England’s top try scorers list behind just Rory Underwood (49, Will Greenwood and Ben Cohen both 31 tries too); he has just one try in seven previous matches against Italy however.

ITALY STATISTICS

- Italy managed a tackle success rate of just 76% against France in Round 1 of this year’s Six Nations, only once has a side had a worse rate than this in the Championship since 2007 (Italy 69% v France in 2017).

- Three of the four players to make a round-high two offloads last weekend were Italians – Jacopo Trulla, Paolo Garbisi and Stephen Varney (also Antoine Dupont).

- Only Ireland’s James Lowe (155) ran for more metres in Round 1 of this year’s Six Nations than Italian duo Monty Ioane (137) and Juan Ignacio Brex (132).

- Italy’s Danilo Fischetti was one of five players to concede three penalties in the opening round of this year’s Six Nations, no player conceded more.
