Head coach Eddie Jones admits that he and his England side were happy with the performance during the 33-0 win over Italy in the Six Nations.

England head coach Eddie Jones has acknowledged that he was pleased with the manner of his team's 33-0 victory over Italy in the Six Nations.

On the back of last weekend's defeat in Scotland, England ran in five tries without reply, two of them coming from Jamie George.

While Jones felt that England could have prevailed by a wider margin in Rome, he was satisfied with the progress that had been made ahead of their next outing versus Wales.

Speaking to ITV, Jones said: "It was a good performance. We started the game well, got a bit of a flow, started the second half well, and defended well at the end.

"Italy are a tough team and they keep coming. If we were a bit tidier with some of our work, some running lines, it could have been a big score. We are happy with that, now we move on to Wales.

"They (Italy) have played New Zealand and France and in the first halves been in the game – and they were not in the game today. Marcus [Smith] did well, Harry Randall did some good things at the start and [Alex] Dombrandt had a really solid game."

England, helped by achieving a bonus point on Sunday, sit in second position in the table, three points adrift of France.
