Quintet head to Rome with England

Travis PerkinsSponsored by Travis Perkins

Head coach Stuart Lancaster has named an unchanged starting 15, meaning Luther Burrell, Dylan Hartley, Courtney Lawes and Tom Wood all retain their starting places with Lee Dickson as one of the replacements.

Lancaster has made just the one change to the match day 23 which beat Wales last Sunday to secure a first Triple Crown in 11 years, Manu Tuilagi replacing Alex Goode on the bench.

England are still in the running to add the Six Nations title to the Triple Crown, but need to both beat Italy and hope that France can do them a favour against Ireland in Paris later in the day.

Meanwhile George North has retained his place on the wing for Wales's final match against Scotland.

All of this weekend's Six Nations action is on Saturday afternoon and live on the BBC.
