Six Nations 2022: England ease past Italy in Rome 33-0 with two-try display from Jamie George

England ran out convincing 33-0 winners over Italy in the Six Nations at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The visitors took control of the game early on to douse any sense of a famous Italian win, with livewire Marcus Smith picking a gap to cross the whitewash after just seven minutes.

Ad/> Eddie Jones's men came again shortly afterwards and following a series of pick-and-gos close to the Italian line, Jamie George burrowed over to make it 14-0.

That made it 21-0 at the break, and the visitors extended their advantage just four minutes into the second period through Elliot Daly, who had raced onto a beautiful miss-pass from Smith. Italy had their best period of the game thereafter, camping in the England 22 and posing their opponents some problems in defence.

/> But they couldn't break through and after both sides had begun to empty their bench — which included an appearance for Ben Youngs, drawing him level with Jason Leonard as the most-capped English player ever on 114 caps — Kyle Sinckler made the most of an Alessandro Fusco error to touch down for his team's fifth try. Smith converted all four tries as England completed a satisfying bonus-point win.
