Italy v England Match Reports

England scored seven tries, including two from man-of-the-match Mike Brown, to beat Italy 52-11 in Rome. It wasn't quite enough to surpass Ireland's superior points difference, so English title hopes were left resting on whether France could beat Ireland later in the day. Italy ended the 2014 Six Nations with zero wins, meaning they take the Wooden Spoon. A selection of match reports is listed below:
