Reed and Bern start in Six Nations Finale

The duo's impressive form in the opening two rounds has been rewarded in starting berths as England go in search of the Grand Slam title.

Last weekend England were crowned Six Nations champions following France and Scotland 13-13 draw and Simon Middleton’s side will be aiming to put the icing on the cake in Parma this weekend. 

The match takes place on Sunday, November 1st (5PM KO GMT) at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi, live on Sky Sports Arena and also available free-to-air on the Sky Sports YouTube channel.
