England attracted a crowd of 12,000 to their open training session at Twickenham on Friday.
Eddie Jones’ men are the only side that remain undefeated after two rounds of the Six Nations and are on course to make history in securing back-to-back Grand Slams.
Up next for England is a clash with Conor O’Shea’s Italy, with Eddie Jones trialling an interesting new back-line combination ahead of the round three clash.
Ben Te’o and Elliot Daly were paired together in a new-look centre partnership, with Owen Farrell at outhalf and Jonny May positioned on one wing.
Jones revealed following the Wales game that he was prepared to ring the changes for the Twickenham clash with the Azzurri, with this combo a possibility come the 26th of February.
