 Woodward expects a tough opener against Italy |
England coach Sir Clive Woodward says his World Cup winning side must not take Italy lightly in their opening Six Nations match on Sunday. Woodward's team are expected to claim a simple victory in Rome against a side who have only won two Six Nations ties.
But Woodward said: "The Italians have a great team. They had a tough World Cup, the draw did not suit them but I thought they did very, very well.
"Every year they are getting stronger and stronger. It's a big game."
