Well worked try by Minnozzi
Italy 11 / 7 Scotland
Italy penalty, on their own 22…
Could have gone the other way too.
Looking at the replay, penalty went the correct way…
22m Drop out by Italy.

Yip that penalty went more the way it would have gone had the ref in Ireland v Wales game been blowing
Yet another Italy penalty, over the ball again.
Harris should have popped the pass up to Johnson before he went to ground

To be fair to Harris he maybe didn’t spot Johnson and Italy may have intercepted if he threw the pass
Thought Graham knockrd it on
Halftime
Poor pass by Hogg means Hanning can’t hold onto it
Don’t think the score board reflects how dominant Italy have been. Forwards aggressive, backs varying their play with a willingness to run with the ball as well as kick. Italy defence has been good and quite disruptive not allowing Scotland space a lot of the time

Gbs have you got Habana on with the half time analysis on your broadcast?
Just showing the mistackle by Weir that eventually led to Italy’s try. Bit of a mixed bag from him today will be interesting to see if he is replaced by Lang at some point in 2nd half. But he is playing behind a losing pack
Italy pack should finish fresher as Scotland lost Sutherland and Ritchie fairly early on. Will have to watch if they tire and fresh Mbanda comes on off the bench
44 @ Bullscot:
No…. just backgound music & info
2nd Half ON!

Ok wasn’t sure how it worked with the different broadcasters around the world
Italy penalty to posts, slotted again…
Scotland giving away too many penalties must be close to a yellow card
Italy 14 / 7 Scotland
Try Duncan Weir, Scotland!
YESS meatball! Must have read my half-time comment
No try… was a forward pass to Weir.
Ahh that’s a pity it was called forward but better play by Scotland seeing more of Watson
Good defence by Italy 11 think his intercept stopped a certain try
Try Scotland, Fagerson
Try stands…
Italy 14 / 14 Scotland
