I very much hope we score some early points and get the thing won in the first 20 minutes, as we have on previous occasions. But we all understand we're facing a great battle here. If we're sloppy at the set pieces, give away penalties and allow the Italians to establish a foothold in the game, we may find ourselves having to use our bench players to win, which is not a position in which we tend to find ourselves against these opponents.
More Quotes from Andy Robinson:
We will have a highly charged (Wales) side that will be full of confidence coming to Twickenham. Because of the way they have played over the last year, they've grown some belief. What is important to us is that Twickenham is a fortress, and it is now time to re-establish that. It is important for us to match whatever Wales have got.Andy Robinson
Martin was inspirational during the autumn and we believe he is the man to lead England throughout the tournament.
Andy Robinson
There are a lot of upset and distraught people in the squad, as are the public, and rightly so. This England team is moving forward - it has taken a couple of backward steps - but it is something we will be able to sort out, and making these changes is right to give players an opportunity.

It was a retrospective comment based on issues which arose last year and Charlie gave an honest opinion. I think the Twickenham crowd have been outstanding in the last six months and really got behind the side in the autumn internationals. I know the England support will be right behind Charlie Hodgson and the whole team this weekend.

He's had nine weeks to focus on this game. He was competing for a ball in the air, which just goes to show his ultra-competitive nature. I have no doubts about his self-control. We've been in regular contact.

He will be missed by Bath during this crucial time of the season and by ourselves on the tour to Australia.
