US EditionItaly Stun England for First Time in Six Nations Boilover
- In Rome, Italy's national rugby team won 23-18 over England on Saturday, securing their first victory in Six Nations history with tries from Tommaso Menoncello and Leonardo Marin.
- Giacomo Nicotera was sent to the sin bin for a cynical challenge, Sam Underhill for head contact after a TMO review, and Maro Itoje for a yellow card, shifting momentum as Garbisi's penalties narrowed the gap.
- Garbisi's place-kicking, including a shot off the upright, sealed Italy's victory after a decisive move involving Ioane, Menoncello, and Marin, according to match reports.
- The result moves Italy national rugby team above England national rugby team in the Six Nations table, and England's third defeat in a row leaves them unable to finish higher than fourth this season.
- Before this match, England national rugby team had never lost to Italy in tests capped by both sides, holding a 32-0 record since 1991 and a 12-match winning run, while Steve Borthwick named an unusually altered backline.
