Resilience on the Rugby Field: England Triumphs Despite Setbacks

Steve Borthwick praises England's adaptability in their 47-24 Six Nations victory over Italy after losing centre Ollie Lawrence to injury. The win keeps England's title hopes alive, needing a strong performance against Wales. Captain Maro Itoje and Jamie George highlight the emotional victory and teamwork.

England coach Steve Borthwick expressed his delight at his team's resilience and intelligence in overcoming the loss of centre Ollie Lawrence to injury during Sunday's 47-24 Six Nations win against Italy.

Lawrence, who has been outstanding throughout the championship, suffered a severe-looking injury early in the game, forcing Elliot Daly to shift positions and Marcus Smith to fill in at fullback. Despite this, the team adapted quickly, scoring seven tries and maintaining their title hopes.

With an upcoming crucial fixture against Wales, England remains in contention for their first title since 2020. Meanwhile, Italy's captain Michele Lamaro emphasizes the need for consistency after their defeat.
