England prepares for a crucial Six Nations match against Italy, aiming for a fourth win amid injury challenges.

England`s Six Nations campaign continues with a pivotal match against Italy on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at Allianz Stadium Twickenham. Following consecutive victories over France and Scotland, England aims to secure a fourth win in the tournament, a feat not achieved since 2020. However, their gameplay has faced scrutiny for being overly cautious, raising questions about their strategy moving forward.

Injuries have impacted the squad, notably with George Martin sidelined due to knee and shoulder issues. Despite recent knocks, Tom Willis and Tom Curry have been included in the lineup, showcasing the team`s depth. Former player Ben Youngs has voiced concerns regarding England`s reliance on high-kicking tactics, advocating for a more balanced approach that incorporates a blitz defense.

Key players such as Ben Earl, Ollie Lawrence, and Maro Itoje will be crucial in the upcoming clash against Italy. As England prepares for this crucial match, the stakes are high for their aspirations in the Six Nations.
