England open their Women's Six Nations title defence with a 38 -5 bonus-point win over Italy in York .

The Red Roses are overwhelming favourites to win a seventh successive title and fourth consecutive Grand Slam .

Mia Venner , Emily Scarratt , Claudia MacDonald and Amy Cokayne all score tries in a lopsided first half that ended with England 33 -5 ahead.

England have now lost just one of their last 52 games -- but that was an agonising 34-31 defeat by New Zealand in the World Cup final three years ago .
