Having beaten Italy at the Stadio Olimpico on the final day of last year’s Six Nations to win the title, Eddie Jones’s men will be targeting another convincing victory this weekend.
Jones has shaken up the England pack following last Saturday’s dismal Calcutta Cup loss. George Ford, Courtney Lawes, Kyle Sinckler, and Mako Vunipola will return to the starting XV. Captain Owen Farrell will swap to inside center to make way for Ford, while Luke Cowan-Dickie gets a start at hooker.
Italy goes into the match after a sound thrashing 10-50 at home by France in the first round of the 2021 Six Nations. In an effort to bounce back, head coach Franco Smith has refreshed the Azzurri starting XV with veterans Carlo Canna and Andrea Lovotti, and young half-back pairing Stephen Varney and Paolo Garbisi.

Italy has yet to win a match at Twickenham but with England unable to rely on the roar of the home crowd, anything could happen.
“We will face one of the best teams in the world in an iconic stadium,” said head coach Smith. “We have been working hard this week with further focus on some factors with the aim of having a high-performance level on Saturday.”
England vs Italy kicks off at 2.15 pm (ITV) on Saturday 13th February. Here’s how to watch the Six Nations for free wherever you are.
Six Nations 2021: England vs Italy free live stream
Good news: every single Six Nations game in 2021 will be shown on free-to-air TV in the UK (coverage will be divided between BBC, ITV, and Welsh language channel S4C).
ITV has the rights to Saturday’s clash between England and Italy and will stream England vs Italy online via the ITV Hub, so you can watch on your computer, phone, or smart TV.
Of course, the free streams are only accessible to viewers in the UK. So if you’re a UK citizen stuck outside of the country this weekend, simply use a VPN to unblock the free Six Nations live streams. We recommend ExpressVPN which you can try 100 percent risk-free thanks to the 30-day money-back guarantee. Why not give it a whirl and see how it performs? If it doesn’t work for you, then you’ll have lost nothing.
Sadly, there’s no 4K coverage of the Six Nations this year. Instead, the games will be available at a very reasonable HD resolution on your television and on BBC iPlayer.

Watch England vs Italy from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Six Nations rights holders, you won’t be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 percent risk-free money-back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
Try ExpressVPN risk-free for 30 days
ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee with its VPN service. You can use it to watch on your mobile, tablet, laptop, TV, games console, and more. There’s 24/7 customer support and three months free when you sign-up. Try it – you’ll be surprised how simple it is. VIEW DEAL
