What has been said?
England head coach Steve Borthwick: "England versus Italy is always an exciting fixture to be part of. Playing in front of our home supporters at Allianz Stadium is something we’re really looking forward to, and we’re sure it will be a fantastic game of rugby."
Italy lock David Sisi: "England have proven they fight until the 80th minute. Maybe they haven’t dominated from the start or always stayed ahead, but they’ve always been in the game. Italy must look for their weaknesses - ones that have already been exposed in their previous matches - and try to exploit them, then be ready for a response, because England always come back. We need to learn from what other teams have done and try to replicate it. It’ll be a big challenge for Italy, but we have to show that we can fight just as hard as they have in the last two matches. Then we’ll see where we stand in the final 10 minutes."
