NEWCASTLE, England - A mix and match England team overcame a patchy start to run in four second-half tries and finish their World Cup preparations with a healthy 37-0 victory over Italy at Newcastle United's St James' Park ground on Friday .
England fly out to Japan on Sunday, beginning their campaign against Tonga on Sept. 22, and will travel in good heart with wins against Wales, Ireland and Italy under their belt - along with a narrow defeat by Warren Gatland's Welsh side. "After last week against France that was a massive step up for us and we're pretty happy with our physical performance in that first half," said Italy captain Dean Budd.
FRUSTRATED CROWD The frustrated Newcastle crowd finally got a try to cheer after Genge blasted through to set up scrumhalf Youngs for something of a"quarterback sneak" five minutes after the restart.
