"If you had this last 40 minutes to make your mark in this 6 Nations, as a coach would you not say don't miss any more tackles..."

Oh yeah that's a great idea, makes the coach look right stupid for telling them to go out and miss tackles in the first half. 🙄

Scottish Hooker scores at the start of the second half. Italy look amateur, a decent pub team. If the ABs can't put them away handsomely then we are in trouble.

Italy down to 14 again.

[sparky]

Scotland score another try. 38-10.

At times I think Italy should just start with 14 men. Would reduce the stoppages from the sending-offs.

Could be a Cricket score.

Watson, Hogg, Jones, Van Dee Merwe the only Scottish players in contention for Lions selection IMHO

Based on today’s match

Russell and Gray if they play/play well against France

[MiketheSnow]

Inane red

[MiketheSnow]

Very lucky

Made no attempt to land him safely

[MiketheSnow]

That typified Scotland

Two man advantage and went down the blindside twice.

Pathetic.

Fair call. Jocks have been poor today.

Another try. Scotland 43 Italy 10.

[sparky]

45-10. If this was a boxing match, the referee would have ended it a long time ago.

[Bones]

Positives for Italy?

Ioane lucky to escape with a yellow.

Really like the look of the number 8. Tough, hard worker. Gauzere was right to ignore the call for a card on him.

All over. 52-10. Questions need to be asked about what Italy add to this tournament. This year they were consistently woeful.

Been waiting for some improvement from Italy, but they've been going backwards for what seems to be years.

Time to consider going back to 5N's, a 6th place play-off with 2nd tier teams or giving Georgia a chance.
