England U20s picked up their third bonus-point win in as many games with an eight-try 46-0 crushing of Italy at the Northern Echo Arena.
Tries from forwards Jamie Blamire, Ben Curry and skipper Zach Mercer helped the hosts into a 17-0 lead at the interval and they cut loose in the second half.
Josh Bayliss and Tom Parton both scored twice with Sam Asplan-Robinson also dotting down to take England's tally to 21 tries in three Six Nations games.
England's next opponents Scotland were beaten in a high-scoring thriller at Broadwood Stadium as Wales returned to winning ways with a 65-34 victory.
Inside centre Kieran Williams scored two of Wales' eight tries, with the winless hosts scoring six to claim a try bonus point.
Ireland made it three wins from three as they withstood a second-half fightback from French to prevail 27-22 win in Donnybrook.
Tommy O'Brien, Tadhg McElroy and Oisin Dowling all scored in the first half to give Ireland a 21-10 advantage at the break, but a second try from Faraj Fartass and a penalty try brought France back into contention.
However, the boot of Bill Johnson kept the visitors at bay.
