Italy have made two changes to their starting XI for Saturday's Six Nations clash against Scotland in Rome on Saturday with coach Kieran Crowley bringing in scrum-half Callum Braley and hooker Giacomo Nicotera.

For many it will have been the moment when Italy’s admirable captain, Michele Lamaro, discovered his team would, by the dispiriting letter of the law, have to soldier on with 13 men for an hour against one of the world’s top sides.

Finn Russell's late penalty had dealt England a third successive Guinness Six Nations Round 1 defeat, but Eddie Jones' men ran in three first-half tries in the Italian capital to ensure Kieran Crowley's first home Championship game in charge ended in defeat. George's double followed Marcus Smith's opener, while Elliot Daly added the bonus-point score early in the second half. Kyle Sinckler added a fifth late on as England boosted their points difference in a bid to get back into Championship contention.

Crowley has made three changes to the starting line-up that suffered a 37-10 defeat against France in their tournament opener in Paris last weekend. In the back-line, Federico Mori comes in to the run-on side on the right wing where he replaces Tommaso Menoncello, who made a try-scoring debut against Les Bleus.
