England kicked off life after Sarah Hunter, the captain who retired last week as the most capped England international of all time, in tremendous fashion. The Red Roses continued their hunt for their fifth consecutive Women's Six Nations title with 12 tries against Italy, looking undeterred by a number of injuries and absences. In the first five minutes, the game felt competitive. England wing Jess Breach gathered a sweeping pass from fly half Holly Aitchison to the left wing to open the scoring but Italy were handed the chance they needed immediately afterwards.
