England have named an unchanged starting XV for Saturday's Six Nations match against Italy (2.30pm).
Head coach Stuart Lancaster has chosen to keep the same match-day squad that opened with a victory in Wales on Friday night.
This weekend's game will be England's first at Twickenham this year, following their 21-16 win at the Millennium Stadium.

"It's always good to be able to name an unchanged team and to build some consistency," said Lancaster. "We did the same last year after France heading into the Scotland game.
"Italy are going to be fired up, they always are when they come to Twickenham, especially after last week's loss to Ireland."
