Standard Sport assesses the individual performances from England's Six Nations clash against Italy at Twickenham.
England bounced back from conceding a fourth-minute Sergio Parisse try to take secure a convincing 47-17 victory over Italy at Twickenham.
Parisse's score shocked an expectant Twickenham still revelling in the opening success in Cardiff and there was further bad news for the hosts when Mike Brown was knocked out and replaced after 13 minutes.
Tries from Billy Vunipola and Jonathan Joseph and five points from the boot of fly-half George Ford earned England the interval advantage in the RBS 6 Nations clash.
Martin Castrogiovanni and Bortolami combined to concede a penalty for not releasing Robshaw and Ford extended England's advantage.
England had the contest in their grasp, but released their grip to allow Italy to score.
Leonardo Sarto collected his own chip down the right and the ball was spread quickly to the left by Luke McLean and Haimona to Morisi.
The centre stepped to glide by England forwards Dave Attwood and James Haskell and Watson could not stop him.
Haimona missed his fourth shot at goal. Had he converted the two conversions and two penalties, the Azzurri would have been ahead.
England responded through their forwards, who won a penalty at the scrum and Youngs sauntered over from five metres after taking a quick tap.
Masi fumbled the ball in his own 22 and Ford kicked England further ahead before providing the pop pass for Joseph to burst through and score his second try.
It was his final act as Danny Cipriani came on for the Bath fly-half.
