Rugby Union: Care keen to be involved from the start

Danny Care hopes he will be handed the opportunity to shine in this weekend's Six Nations clash between England and Italy at Twickenham.

England are 9/2 with bet365 to beat Italy by between one and 12 points on Sunday and are 5/9 to complete the Grand Slam. Scrum-half Care has been in fine form for Harlequins of late but has had to be content with a place on the bench for the Red Rose because of Ben Youngs' excellence. Head coach Stuart Lancaster has stated his intention to make a couple of changes for the visit of the Azzurri and Care is looking to be involved from the start. He admitted: "Everyone wants to get involved. We're three from three at the moment. There's a few lads who haven't had a chance to start yet but everyone's itching to play. "I'm no different. Obviously, I sat on the bench for the three games and, although I'm delighted to be involved, everyone wants to start. I'm not sure what the team's going to be but I would love the chance to play."
