Italy have made two changes to the team that ran France close ahead of their second Six Nations showdown against England.

The Italians led the reigning champions 24-22 before a late French try saw them fall to a valiant defeat in Rome.

The performance will have put England on high alert, however. Facing Italy is no longer a dead-cert result and Kieran Crowley’s changes reflect a positive mood in the Italian camp.
