FIT-AGAIN centre Will Butler returned to action as England under 20s ran in seven tries in a 43-5 victory over Italy in Perpignan.

The Worcester Warriors ace was back after recovering from a dislocated elbow and helped his nation record a second successive bonus-point win at the World Rugby U20 Championship.

England thought they had an early try after a penalty was kicked to the corner and after several phases Ben Curry barged over, only for it to be disallowed because of the grounding.

Soon after they were over, with Marcus Smith jinking his way to the try-line and dotting down under the posts before converting his own score.

A second try came via Tom Parton after neat handling and a Tom Willis break eventually released England’s full-back to go over with Smith again kicking the extras.

A neat break in midfield by Smith eventually saw Ben Loader go over for a third converted try inside 30 minutes.

AntoineKoffi finished off an Italy break from inside their own half, but, before the break, Loader sealed the bonus-point after going over in the corner.

Hooker Gabriel Oghre and Warriors lock James Scott were introduced early in the second half as England's dominance continued with Ibitoye producing a fine finish in the corner for a fifth try.

Smith collected a loose ball just inside Italy's half to run in his second try, also converting the score for 38-5 while Rory Brand nipped in at the corner.

Sam Lewis was sent off late on for his high challenge but England saw out the rest of the game with ease.

England now end their pool B fixtures against Scotland on Thursday in Beziers (8pm BST).
