A dominant second half performance saw England conclude their Rugby World Cup preparations with a 37-0 home thumping of Italy. Italy squandered a great chance at a try in the corner, but it was England who kept the scoreboard ticking over in the first half, slotting three successful penalties to take a 9-0 advantage into the beak. It was all England in the second forty, as the hosts upped the tempo to run in four tries to seal a comfortable victory.
