England Rugby aims for Six Nations title after defeating Italy, with key player Marcus Smith shining in the match.

England`s rugby team remains firmly in the hunt for the 2025 Six Nations Championship title following a commanding 47-24 victory over Italy at Twickenham. This win keeps England in close contention with France and Ireland, as they prepare for their crucial match against Wales on March 15 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. To maintain their title aspirations, England must secure a bonus-point win against their rivals.

The standout performance against Italy came from Marcus Smith, who scored one of England`s six tries after being dropped earlier in the tournament. His resurgence has been pivotal for the team as they navigate the final stages of the championship. Currently, France leads the standings with 16 points, closely followed by England with 15 points and Ireland with 14 points, setting the stage for an intense final day of competition.

However, England faces potential setbacks, with Ollie Lawrence a doubt for the upcoming British and Irish Lions tour due to a potentially severe Achilles injury. The stakes are high as all three teams still have a chance to clinch the title, depending on the outcomes of their respective matches.
