20 min: Strafskop Cheetahs! 5 m lynstaan Dryf! Bulls draai besit om!
Just been watching the highlights of the womens 6 Nations Rugby. Some of theses girls can play! Loads of talent!
25 min: Akona druk amper na skrum! Juandre gooi bal oor kantlyn 7 meter van doellyn
2Nd Half ON!
Italy penalty, deep in their own half, taken quickly
Now Scotland get a penalty on their own 10m line
Very good try
Solid, right decisions by Scotland… taken the penalty kick to touch.
Tryyyyyyyyyy Scotland, No 12, Matt Scott
Nice set piece move, executed perfectly – such a good feeling when you get it right
Italy’s flyhalf woes continue. Scots score a lovely try. Looks like the flood gates are about to open.
Scotland 20 / 3 Italy
30 min: Verdeging goed aan beide kante! Hoe tempo! Vinnig Baie fisiek!
Aanvallende lynstyn op Cheetah 22m
Intercept try by Hogg for the Scots….
And the Italians couldn’t get worse luck – they were attacking so well too
Heartbreak for the Italians as a very promising bit of play ends up in an intercept try to the Scots!
Skotland druk vandag meer drieë as die vorige 5 jaar saam in die 6 nasies, hehe
Scotland 27 / 3 Italy
Laidlaw having a very good game, from the base and kicking
Bravehearts !
Nice to see Burton replacing Orquera.
Italians must make use of this one
Scots in a bit of trouble… team warning… and the Italians take the scrum option
Parisse knocks from the base of the scrum
Jeeeez, was France THAT bad last week?
Scotland scrum demolishes the Italy scrum…. and a few handbags
Scots have played much more intelligently than the Italians. They have kept play in the opposition half and exploited mistakes and indiscipline.
Italy get another penalty inside the Scotland 22
Scotland escape well out of their half….
