Good win for Scotland, if they play like this, they certainly have a chance against Wales, and possibly even Ireland if Ireland are having an off day. France should be a walk over.

Super result great stuff Scotland!!! Was good to see 4 tries, even if two of them came from Italy mistakes they were as a result of far more urgency this week from Scotland and shows what aggressive defence can do.
Also really good to see the Bulls result here, and yes I know its only a warmup game 😉 Thanks for putting up the scores on that one bendybul nice to have a read through them.

Tim Visser is from Holland. Was good to see Jaco Pyper had quite a good game with the whistle, although why did he let Italy scrummies push Laidlaw away while he was waiting for ball after he fed the scrum, is this legal? Saw both Botes and his replacement do it.
Good one YoungTurk as in there are no South Africans in Scotland team…yet
