Crouch. Touch. Engage. England will no doubt encounter more fearsome Italian scrummaging at Twickenham but it probably won't be as colourful
Captain Mike Tindall leads England out against Italy at a jam-packed Twickenham for the first home game of three at this year's Six Nations
He was told not to do it. We thought he wouldn't. But cheeky Chris Ashton celebrates scoring England's first try with his trademark swallow dive and Toby Flood converts to make it 7-0 to the hosts
England's fans are on song and so are Martin Johnson's men as Ashton brilliantly supports Shontayne Hape to score his second try, which Flood converts to make it 17-6
He has had to wait quite a while, but after 1,500 minutes of international rugby winger Mark Cueto crosses the tryline to extend England's lead to 22-6
There's no stopping England now as Mike Tindall gets his name on the scoresheet before half-time, much to the delight of the future Mrs Tindall, who is watching from the stands. Can Italy come back from being 29-6 behind?
Italy captain Sergio Parisse surges forward but even the great number eight can do little to dent England's impressive defensive line as the hosts seem on course for a second Six Nations win on the trot
Despite a number of changes to personnel after the break, one thing remains the same - Ashton's ability to find the whitewash. The winger scores his eighth try in nine Tests and Flood converts to make it 36-6
Substitute Danny Care bursts through for another England score and celebrates with Steve Thompson. Jonny Wilkinson converts to move England into a seemingly unassailable 43-6 lead
Italy replacement Fabio Ongaro scores for the visitors but James Haskell brings up the half-century of points for England as he barges through Italy's defence to stretch the lead to 52-13
It's Ashton again. The winger becomes the first man to score four tries in a Six Nations game and this time his celebration forces a chuckle from his boss
A huge smiles from man of the match Ashton after a ruthless England score eight tries to demolish Italy 59-13
