Episode Notes
Steve Borthwick has made nine changes to his starting XV as England Rugby head to Rome to play Italy in an enthralling Six Nations 2026 matchup.
George Ford, Freddie Steward, Fraser Dingwall and Henry Arundell are amongst the casualties; whilst Fin Smith, Seb Atkinson, Elliot Daly and Cadan Murley earn their first starts of the tournament.
Ben Youngs and Dan Cole analyse if this gamble will pay off.
