England still manage to string some attack together, despite playing with two players fewer than their opponents.

Italy want to throw this ball around so it will be interesting to see how England defend this.
Do they bring Ellie Kildunne into the frontline and drop the two wingers?
Sin-bin - Helena Rowland
Italy 0-36 England
The TMO says there is direct head contact.
Helena Rowland heads to the bin. England are down to 13.
This one will have a bunker review as well so there could still another red card for the visitors.

England are hovering inside Italy's 22 again.
They are delivering on their promise of a fast attack now. Feaunati sends a nice ball inside and Connie Powell wriggles over the tryline, but the ball is held up.
'Feaunati is extremely athletic'
Italy 0-36 England
England head coach John Mitchell, speaking to BBC Sport: "We knew this game was going to be sticky, but I am proud of the way the girls have worked through it.
"Maddie Feaunati is extremely athletic, fast and young.
"She was brought up in Leeds and has been totally committed wanting to play for her country - the girls have embraced her really well."
Feaunati debut
Italy 0-36 England
Among all the excitement of the tries we didn't mark England back row Maddie Feaunati's arrival onto the field for her first cap.
She is making herself known out there too.

One of England's most enjoyable tries so far, this one from Ellie Kildunne.
Try - 0-36 England
Mackenzie Carson
There goes one of those fresh-legged replacements.

Zoe Harrison pops over a conversion before she leaves the field, replaced by Megan Jones.

Helena Rowland's turn!
England have been a player down since Sarah Beckett's red card after 10 minutes, but the Red Roses have the individual brilliance to deal with that.
Centre Rowland emulate's Ellie Kildunne's impressive break with one of her own to soar over the tryline.
Zoe Harrison nails another conversion.
