England coach Clive Woodward has recalled fit-again Jason Robinson to the team for Sunday's final Six Nations match against Italy in Rome. Martin Johnson will start the game on the bench.

Robinson will start at fullback with Austin Healey dropping to the bench.

Johnson also missed the Wales game, through suspension, but Neil Back retains the captaincy in his 50th appearance.

Also on the bench is former captain Lawrence Dallaglio, who has just returned to action after almost a year out with a knee injury.
