Italy took a shock second-minute lead with a try by Monty Ioane, but England eventually took control with tries by Johnny, Hill, Watson and, with an American-football style dive over a defender, May.

The hugely impressive Watson got his second via a long-range interception then flanker Jack Willis came off the bench to score, before being carried off on a stretcher soon after with a serious-looking knee injury.

Italy grabbed a second through Tommaso Allan before England hit back through Elliot Daly, but were unable to add to their tally despite dominating the last 10 minutes.
