Eddie Jones has hinted he will make changes to his starting line-up when England take on Italy in Rome this Sunday.

The England head coach was satisfied with his team's opening Calcutta Cup win over Scotland at Murrayfield, where No 8 Billy Vunipola claimed the man-of-the-match award in a workmanlike 15-9 win, and his players travel to Rome on top of the Six Nations table.

Jones will name his 23-man squad on Tuesday night, and while wholesale changes are not expected, the Australian has indicated that he will look to add pace to his pack, with Harlequins back row star Jack Clifford and Gloucester openside Matt Kvesic in contention for a starting place.

'We'll pick the best 23 for Italy so we could conceivably pick a faster pack,' he said.

England conceded five turnovers in Edinburgh on Saturday, bringing into question their work at the breakdown, but Jones insists he is not overly concerned.

'We had five turnovers on the weekend,' Jones said. 'Two were caused by bad scrums. One was caused by a bad kick and we had two breakdown errors. So we had two errors. That was a concern. Every time we get errors in a certain part of the game and there's two, it is a concern.

'It's (breakdown) one of the areas we need to improve without a doubt. But I don't want to get obsessed by the breakdown. The breakdown is a product of the rest of the game.

'Now we got turned over when Billy Vunipola had to break to the right hand side of a scrum and our right hand flanker got caught on the scrum.

'Now that's not a breakdown problem, it's scrum problem. Let's just focus on what happened in the game.'

Jones retained Kvesic and Sale's Josh Beaumont in his 27-man squad, which he is expected to reduce to 23 on Tuesday night, in order for England to hold an eight on eight scrummaging session at their Surrey training base.

'We've only got one day of training (before naming the squad) so we thought we'd only bring in the guys we really need today,' he said. 'The other guys we thought we could get by with the ones we've got. We had a full scrum session this morning.'

England have never lost a Six Nations fixture to Italy but have struggled in Rome in recent years.

Italy almost pulled off a shock against France in their opening Championship encounter on Saturday but eventually fell to a 23-21 defeat.

Defeat in Rome would be a significant set-back for Jones at the start of his tenure and the England coach has identified No 8 Sergio Parisse along with half-backs Edoardo Gori and Carlo Canna as dangermen to watch.

He added: 'Italy have some young players, they traditionally play a certain way, traditionally play that European style of game, heavily focused around their eight and nine, their marquee players. Gori the half back is an outstanding player. Parisse, if he was playing for the All Blacks he'd be rated one of the best in the world.

'They're obviously guys we got to be very careful of. And they've got some good young players coming through. The young 10 who plays with the headgear looks a bit like Stephen Larkham.
