Eddie Jones Makes Three Changes For England

14 February 2016 02:24

England arrived in Rome for their RBS 6 Nations clash against Italy on the back of a 15-9 victory against Scotland that gave Eddie Jones the winning start he had hoped for as head coach.

Jones made three changes from the Calcutta Cup success, with Courtney Lawes, Mako Vunipola and Ben Youngs replacing Joe Launchbury, Joe Marler and Danny Care in the starting XV, with a place on the bench for uncapped 21-year-old Maro Itoje.

There was only one change for the home side from their agonising 23-21 loss to France - Australia-born Luke McLean started at full-back in place of David Odiete, who suffered a sprained ankle in Paris.
