England v Italy Six Nations live stream – How to watch rugby action online

England will be looking to bounce back today as they face Italy at Twickenham.

The home side suffered a defeat to Wales in their last Six Nations outing in a game they surely could and should have won.

This means the Grand Slam has gone but a victory against Italy is vital if England stand any chance of winning this year’s tournament.

Speaking ahead of the clash, England coach Eddie Jones, said: “We’re able now to pick a big backline which can play a little bit differently. If Italy go to a dump and fan type defence – and we’re not sure what they’ll do – we’ve now got the firepower to go through them.

“In certain games it’s massively important, when maybe you’re not getting fast ruck ball and the only way to get through the line is by smashing through it. At times you need to have a team that can play like that.

“Certain referees will give you faster ruck ball and certain teams will give you faster ruck ball but other teams won’t, so when the game is tight you need a bigger back line.

“We have to be able to pick that sort of team, if that sort of game is coming up – and maybe it’s going to be that sort of game on Saturday.”

So, if you want to watch all the action from South West London, here’s how to tune in online.
