ENGLAND RATINGS

Elliot Daly 7Sizzling break to set up May's try and untroubled by Italy in defence. One misplaced kick but classy throughout.

Joe Cokanasiga 8: Too much power for Italy and offloading threat could add an extra dimension as England build towards World Cup. Question marks about his defensive reads though.

Manu Tuilagi 8: Quiet in Cardiff. Looked lean and mean here beating three men for first-half try, setting up the Shields score and powering over in second half.

Ben Te'o 7: Solid return after injury-strewn season. A favourite of Jones's but still questions about the side's midfield balance no matter how many tackles he makes.

Jonny May 7: A 13th try in 14 games and overtook Josh Lewsey to go seventh on England's all-time list.

Owen Farrell 7: An easy ride behind a dominant pack. Near faultless kicking and made some solid hits in defence.

Joe Cokanasiga is a freakish asset and Jonny May was right to say he had 'the world at his feet'

Ben Youngs 7: Will become England's most capped scrum half against Scotland and his 84th Test appearance was a lively one. Couldn't halt Allan for Italy's try.
