Italy v Scotland

[KiwiMurph]

Scotland deserve to lose for that uniform

27 phases. The Scots got into the Italian 22, but held up in a maul that looked like to me like it was still moving......

It's funny how collapsing a maul is completely forgotten in that situation.

[Bones]

Anyway, bloody good effort Italy, it's Scotland's year.

Post match interviews. Love the Highland lilt in Scotland's captain's voice.

[Bones]

Please tell me this is Sonja with the stupid questions and not the other (good) one.

[sparky]

@Bones It's Sonja. She's not improved with experience.

Scotland brought that down trying to get BOK to call tackle

On the money as usual, massive pressure on the coach who's leaving and handling had nothing to do with the weather, players aren't taking responsibility.

That you, Razor?

Italy have a good chance of finishing 4th in the 6 Nations for the first time since 2013 and maybe an outside chance of finishing above Ireland and 3rd in the championship for the first time.

Time to dust off an old meme…..

It should have been a RC against Turner. Straight to Zuliani's head with his shoulder. Reckless. Turner was back after 10 minutes while Zuliani had to leave the field and could not come back.

[sparky]

Hugely impressed with Lorenzo Cannone, a tackling machine for Italy.

@MiketheSnow said in Italy v Scotland:

Fuck you Scotland

Who goes first Starmer or Townsend?

The kit man

[MN5]

For some reason Townsend thought it would be sensible to omit the top two try scorers in Scottish history and a British Lion.....and put a halfback on the wing.

I guess it was only Italy, problem was they won.

8 minutes in to the 2nd half and Ben O'Keeffe is fucking me off. He's fucking Italy over.

[antipodean]

In the first five minutes I thought Italy were going to be in for a hiding. Just tackling and shit kicks. But two tremendous tries, misfunctioning lineout for Scotland and playing in the pissing rain made it an arm-wrestle.

The Scots took it to ground to try and get the ball back.

[Nepia]

I watched the rapid recap highlights on Stan - for some reason they showed the missed drop goal attempt three times.

Those highlights didn't make me want to watch the whole game.

[mariner4life]

Scotland are shit.

Whoever is the Italian set piece coach earned his pay today.
