## Resource

England have lost to Italy for the first time! Following a historic day in Rome, Alfie Reynolds and Will Kelleher are in the Stadio Olympico to unpack an incredible occasion and hugely damaging England defeat. What does the future hold for Steve Borthwick? Can he continue as England head coach? How can a team that won 12 matches in a row suddenly look so lost? They also heap praise on Italy and discuss why this is a significant moment for Italian rugby and the 6 Nations as a whole. *** Allianz Future Fund | Allianz Insurance Hosted on Acast.
