England thrashes Italy in Six Nations

The Red Roses' offensive dominance was on full display as they crossed the line nine times in a high-scoring encounter against a spirited Italian side.

Marlie Packer's clinical finishing anchored the performance, ensuring England remains the team to beat in the Women's Six Nations.

While Italy managed to score five tries of their own, they were unable to contain England's superior physicality and set-piece execution.

The result sets up a winner-takes-all Grand Slam decider against France in the final round of the championship.
