ENGLAND have suffered a poor start to the Six Nations – and face another tough test away at Italy.
Pressure is mounting on Steve Borthwick in the England hot seat, and the former Saracens man has made a handful of changes to his side to feature in Rome.
Elliot Daly, Tom Roebuck, Seb Atkinson, Cadan Murley, Fin Smith and Ben Spencer all start in a brand new backs division, which sees only Tommy Freeman retain his spot.
Alex Coles, Guy Pepper and Jamie George all also come in for Ollie Chessum, Henry Pollock and Luke Cowan-Dickie.
