(Reuters) - England's return to competitive action after seven months would have failed to thrill supporters despite the team's bonus-point victory over Italy on Saturday that helped them seal the Six Nations title, former coach Clive Woodward has said.

England won their third Six Nations crown in five years as they beat Italy 34-5 in Rome before watching France's 35-27 victory over Ireland, which put England out of reach of both teams.
