The only match of the weekend where a 4 try bonus point is expected. Italy have lost both home matches by margins of 26 and 53 points to Wales and Ireland. Now they are away to England whose average winning margin over the last 3 years is 34 points. England are the only team still with Grand Slam aspirations.
