In 2022, Italy ended a 36-game losing run in the Six Nations and secured a victory over Australia. However, the Azzurri lost all five games in last year's Six Nations and suffered Sizeable losses to New Zealand and France at the Rugby World Cup.
Now with former Stade Français boss Gonzalo Quesada at the helm, Italy are determined to deliver a fighting performance in Rome with the help of powerful back-rower Sebastian Negri, full-back Ange Capuozzo and fly-half Paolo Garbisi.
While Italy disappointed at the World Cup, England shocked many with their performances and finished in third. Former captain Owen Farrell is unavailable after choosing to play in France, while fly-half Marcus Smith is injured. That should provide an opportunity for the in-form Fin Smith to make his international debut.
Here's how they line up:
Italy XV: Allan; Pani, Brex, Menoncello, Ioane; Garbisi, Garbisi, Cannone, Lamaro, Negri, Ruzza, Cannone, Ceccarelli, Lucchesi, Fischetti.
Replacements: Nicotera, Spagnolo, Zilocchi, Zambonin, Izekor, Zuliani, Varney, Mori.
England XV: Steward; Freeman, Slade, Dingwall, Daly; Ford, Mitchell; Marler, George (capt), Stuart, Itoje, Chessum, Roots, Underhill, Earl.
Replacements: Dan, Obano, Cole, Coles, Cunningham-South, Care, F Smith, Feyi-Waboso.
It's a beautiful day in Rome and the stadium is filling up fast. Can England get their Six Nations campaign off to a flying start? Or will Italy cause a huge upset in front of their home fans?
