  • Reaction from man-of the-match Maro Itoje after England beat Wales 25-21 in the Six Nations on Saturday (12 March).

    SOUNDBITE (English) Maro Itoje, England (on finishing his university work for his politics degree at SOAS)

    "I had an essay due in this week. Yesterday actually and I managed to do that."

    Q. So you are actually getting all your work done?

    "So far. I have got another deadline in about a month so I'll be keeping my head down trying to get that one done as well."

    Q. What would you take a Grand Slam or a good mark in your essay?

    "Hopefully get both. But we will wait and see."

    "We were just playing rugby really. The boys… I don't quite have enough pace to finish it. Luckily we have some - quite a few players faster than me in the team and they did the job."
