Italy make history in Six Nations beating England for first time
Tries from Tommaso Menoncello and Leonardo Marin gave Italy a historic first ever victory over much-changed England in a tense 23-18 Six Nations thriller on Saturday.
Fly-half Paolo Garbisi also kicked 13 points as Italy finally earned a victory over England at the 33rd attempt, and moved above them in the Six Nations table.
England actually led 18-10 shortly after half-time with Italy hooker Giacomo Nicotera in the sin-bin but their discipline deserted them as Sam Underhill and captain Maro Itoje also picked up yellow cards.
Tries from backs Tommy Freeman and Tom Roebuck were not enough for the visitors, who had made nine changes to the starting XV from their record 42-21 defeat at home to Ireland last time out.
England will now travel to France in their final match knowing that they can finish no higher than fourth in this season's tournament -- and could even end up with the wooden spoon.
If Italy beat Wales in Cardiff next weekend, it would be the first time in a Six Nations that they have won three matches, and they could yet finish third, which would be their best final position.
