England coach Eddie Jones has made three changes to his starting XV for Sundays Six Nations visit to Italy - and Maro Itoje is set to make his debut off the bench.Scrum-half Ben Youngs, loosehead prop Mako Vunipola and lock Courtney Lawes replace Danny Care, Joe Marler and Joe Launchbury respectively in the starting team.Saracens star Itoje - who can play in the second row or back row - is named in an England 23 for the first time, and he will wait for his chance from the bench. He takes Ollie Devotos place among the replacements, where there is a six to two split between forwards and backs. Courtney Lawes (right) returns to the starting XV for the clash with Italy Elsewhere, Jones has kept faith with the team which beat Scotland 15-9 at Murrayfield last weekend.Weve made a few changes to the line-up for Italy. I believe this is the strongest 23 to go to Rome and get the performance and result we want, Jones said. Eddie Jones says changes to Englands starting XV dont reflect on anybodys performance in their last match Mako, Ben and Courtney have been pushing hard for selection during training, but they also fit the game plan we want to implement against Italy. Danny, Joe Marler and Joe Launchbury will all have a significant role to play to finish the game. Alex Payne gives you his top betting tips ahead of England v Italy It has been an intense week of training and I am pleased with how the group have responded to some of the things weve asked them to do.Maro has consistently impressed me this week and, together with his excellent club form, has deserved his call up to the match-day squad. Saracens Maro Itoje is set for his England debut from the bench We are confident we can go to Rome and win, but were in no doubt of the challenge we face. Italy took France very close last weekend in Paris so theyll be fired up.Josh Beaumont and Ollie Devoto will also travel with the squad to give them an opportunity to gain experience of Test match rugby. Jack Nowell and Eddie Jones (right) pose with the Calcutta Cup England: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Anthony Watson, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Owen Farrell, 11 Jack Nowell, 10 George Ford, 9 Ben Youngs; 1 Mako Vunipola, 2 Dylan Hartley (c), 3 Dan Cole, 4 Courtney Lawes, 5 George Kruis, 6 Chris Robshaw, 7 James Haskell, 8 Billy Vunipola.Replacements: 16 Jamie George, 17 Joe Marler, 18 Paul Hill, 19 Joe Launchbury, 20 Maro Itoje, 21 Jack Clifford, 22 Danny Care, 23 Alex Goode.What do you make of Eddie Jones selection? Lawes for Launchbury? Mako starting? A change at scrum-half? How do you like the balance of the back row?

And given what the San Diego Padres have done the past couple of weeks, he knows anything is possible with general manager A.J. Preller.In the last week alone, Preller has traded four key members of the Padres contingent -- outfielders Matt Kemp and Melvin Upton Jr. and starting pitchers Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea. Earlier, Preller traded starting pitchers James Shields and Drew Pomeranz and James Shields and closer Fernando Rodney.Now there are rumors that Preller is looking to move Norris and a left-handed reliever or two before Mondays trading deadline. And one of the teams that is rumored to be interested in Norris is the Milwaukee Brewers, who happen to be opening a three-game series on Monday night at Petco Park.The rumor goes that if the Brewers are able to get Jonathan Lucroy to agree to a trade out of Milwaukee, they might look toward Norris as his replacement.Ive heard a lot of stuff, Norris said. But theres really nothing to talk about.It does appear that Norris could be one of the two clubhouses on Monday night when the Padres sent right-hander Jarred Cosart to the mound in a pitching matchup against Brewers right-hander Jimmy Nelson (6-9, 3.71 ERA).Theres just a question of which one.And could Norris go from preparing to catch Cosart to doing a quick study on Nelson, who has pitched much better than his won-loss record this season.Jimmys done a nice job putting us in position to win games, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said recently of the 6-foot-6, 250-pound 27-year-old who is headed toward a career high in innings pitchedd.ddddddddddddMonday night will be Nelsons 22nd start. Eleven of the first 21 were considered quality starts, tying Nelson with Wednesday afternoons starter Junior Guerra for the team lead.This will be the second time that Nelson has faced San Diego this season. The Padres defeated Nelson and the Brewers 3-0 on May 12 at Miller Park in Milwaukee. Nelson has a 1-2 career record against the Padres with a 1.83 ERA in three starts.Meanwhile, Cosart will be making his debut as a Padre after coming to San Diego from Miami in the seven-player trade that sent Cashner and Rea to the Marlins. The Padres needed Cosart in return because the loss of Cashner and Rea ostensibly left the Padres with four starters with no one in their system ready to step into the void.The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Cosart was 0-1 with a 5.95 ERA in four starts for the Marlins. But he spent most of this season at Triple-A New Orleans of the Pacific Coast League, where he was 3-4 with a 4.09 ERA in 10 starts. But he averaged only five innings in those starts.What we are offering the starters weve added is the opportunity to come in here and do the job, Green said recently. Weve brought in pitchers who we think have the stuff. Now it up to them to prove it.The 26-year-old Cosart arrived Saturday in San Diego just in time to get in a bullpen session under the watchful eye of pitching coach Darren Balsley just two days before his Padres debut.The only question is will Cosart be throwing to Norris the receiver or facing Norris the batter.
