Italy won their first game of the tournament with an outstanding win against Scotland in round 3. The display was dominant from the Italians who went 34-0 ahead shortly after halftime. It took two yellow cards for Italy to get Scotland on the board. Both teams would score once more each to finish the game 41-12.

The Red Roses have won every game since the 2022 World Cup final, where they lost to the Black Ferns. This run has included a World Cup win of their own. In the last round, they won 62-24, and they will likely be disappointed to have conceded 24 points. This was the most points they have conceded in nine internationals.

Italy have never won against the Red Roses. Last year’s meeting was the first time since 2017 that England have scored less than 40 points against Italy since 2017. Italy haven’t scored more than 10 points against England since the 2017 World Cup.
