ROME (Reuters) - Half back Tommaso Allan says Italy are determined to prove competitive against England at Twickenham on Sunday despite conceding 96 points in their opening two Six Nations matches this year. “England are one of the best teams in the world, second after the All Blacks,” Allan told reporters on Tuesday as Italy continued preparations for their London trip at the weekend. For us it will be a great challenge. Allan has been working over the last two days with former England kicking coach Mike Catt, now part of Conor O'Shea’s Italian staff. He’s a great coach who works hard both on the skills of the team and then on the individual after training.
