“This was a great result for us,” said Ford. “We said all week that we’d like to put Italy to the sword, we’ve struggled against them the last couple of years but today we delivered. It was a real team performance.
“We’ve got a fallow week now before the France game, so we’ll head back to our clubs, regroup and then get back together in Worcester where we play the French.
“It’s good to get a week off and I’m sure we’ll get back into camp chomping at the bit.”
