England vs Italy player ratings: 2021 Guinness Six Nations

The England vs Italy player ratings as Eddie Jones men bounced back from their opening round defeat with a 41-18 bonus-point win at Twickenham.

Monty Ioane’s early try caused a scare at Twickenham, before England’s Jonny Hill, Anthony Watson and Jonny May crossed to give the hosts a 20-8 lead at the break.

Watson’s impressive intercept try sealed a bonus point with Jack Willis adding a fifth soon after before being stretchered off with what appeared to be a serious knee injury.

Tommaso Allan then added a consolation try for Italy before fullback Elliot Daly put the icing on the cake for England.
