Italy earn the scrum.
England 46-13 Italy
Maria Magatti makes an acrobatic leap to try to keep the ball in play but the Italy wing ends up injuring her shoulder. That looked like a nasty landing.
Danielle Waterman (con Reed)
How about try number eight for England?
Danielle Waterman goes over for a second time, and is once again set up by Katy Mclean.
Waterman thinks about offloading to her left as she runs towards the line but decides on the dummy and wrong-foots a blue shirt to cross under the posts.
Amber Reed lands the conversion.

Italy finally get inside enemy territory and they drive forward with so much force.

Emily Scarratt (con Scarratt)
... it's a second try for Emily Scarratt!
The England captain intercepts a loose Italy ball and takes only two steps before crashing over.
Scarratt adds the extras too.

Rochelle Clark pushes and pushes and...
Tamara Taylor
England have a fifth!
