It's very much a family affair as the RBS Six Nations gets under way at Twickenham with England v Italy on Saturday.

For the Italians playing in their 10th Championship since five became six back in 2000 the Bergamasco brothers have become almost ever-presents since the younger Mirco joined big bruv Mauro in the side in 2002.

Mauro played at open-side flanker in Italy's 34-20 win over Scoland in their first match and this weekend will rival our own Austin Healey as international rugby's Mr Versatile having been chosen at scrum-half to add to his caps in the back row and on the wing.

Meanwhile for the home side Steffon Armitage will make his debut alongside brother Delon - making them the first brothers to represent England since the Underwood boys Rory and Tony in 1995.
