Time to reflect for all sides
With a break from the Guinness Six Nations next weekend, it gives coaches plenty of time to work with their squads and fine tune things after the opening two rounds of fixtures.
England will travel to Cardiff for their next game as they take on bottom of the table Wales.
Steve Borthwick will be taking nothing for granted as a wounded beast can often be a dangerous one.
With the history between the two nations, Warren Gatland should not need to do much motivating of his side.
Irrelevant to form of position in the table, they tend to raise their game to face opposition they have history with.
Italy meanwhile will entertain Ireland in Rome, with Andy Farrell's side looking to continue their surge towards a Grand Slam campaign.
Borthwick's reign up and running
The England coach will be pleased to get his first win under his belt and to give his squad something to build on.
After a sterling first half performance, Italy came back into the game and won the second half, but there were plenty of positives for England to focus on.
Rome was not built in a day, but this is certainly a good step forward in their evolution under the new man.
Ollie sets standards for side
The Guinness Six Nations player of the match, Ollie Lawrence, caused Italy problems all day with his bursting runs through the middle of the park.
He hit them hard, creating openings for his team to breach.
It is important to have players like Lawrence who can ruin the defensive lines with his bull-like runs, absorbing hits and gaining ground.
