RBS 6 Nations Weekend Round-Up

14 February 2012

Both the England Men’s Senior and England Women’s teams have maintained 100% win records after the second weekend of 6 Nations action against Italy.

An impressive second half performance for the Men’s side saw them defeat Italy 15-19, despite going into the break with a 6 point deficit. Italy dominated the scrums on the day, but England’s dominant passing and possession meant that they would leave victorious. Harlequins’ Chris Robshaw retained the captain’s armband for the game, with Jordan Turner-Hall making a substitutes appearance.
