Here, Sports News Blitz’s Jacob Garrett discusses several key talking points from the Italy game - then turns his attention to a game versus the much-improved Wales side.

Rugby fans are sometimes guilty of being a bit reactionary, towards players such as Marcus Smith and Finn Russell or head coaches like Steve Borthwick, and opinions often change in an instant.
