Very static rugby from Scots sees ball going up and down line, but going nowhere. Easy for Italians to read and defend. Scrum Italy

Attento, ouchio, il bambino giovane!
Scotland, after, numerous turnovers earn a kickable penalty
Laidlaw kick good. Italy (13) 13/6 (3) Scotland (46 min)
@ Pietman:
Cross replaces Low
Scotland scrum after injury break
Penalty, Scotland, go for the corner
Scotland up to Italian 22
Good defence by Italy
Absolutely no variation by Scots. Mix it up
Italy reading them like a cheap spaghetti western
Eventually Scotland get a penalty in front, but from some of the scrappiest rugby I have ever seen from both sides. Scotland go for a quick tap, and waste 3 points. Daft
Denton on for Fusaro
Dentons size dudnt help that scrum

Cool, he will give me the addresses of which hotels he will be staying in, we can arrange closer to the time.
Will be great, thanks
TRYYYYYYY! Dunbar for Scotland in the corner, from another turnover from poor Italian handling
And Scotland have drawn level! Great play Rokke!
Laidlaw misses conversion – Italy (13) 13/11 (3) Scotland (46 min)
@ nortierd: Cool
That try should give the Bravehearts a bit of confidence
Still very scrappy play – that ball is like a greased pig for the Italians – either that or hot coals, they can’t seem to keep a grasp of it
Davide Giazzon, Matias Aguero & Lorenzo Cittadini on for Martin Castrogiovanni, Leonardo Ghiraldini & Alberto De Marchi
Evans on for Scots
Scrum ends in another penalty for Italy. Kick to touch
Interesting match this, on a beautiful day, look at that pitch!
Seems I was a bit too fast, Scotland failed with the conversion so Italy still lead by 2.
Italy still on attack, and then kick ball away, eish
…and forced back to their own 22
@ Pietman:Yes, looks like a lovely day for a picnic and a glass of Italian wine or 2!!!
