Hope Italy can get thier first 6 nations win in three years.

Jack Kanoff · 17-03-2018 1:48pm

They're doing ok so far...it's the last 20 mins when they tend to lose their way and fall off the pace.

Nice!

ScrubsfanChris · 17-03-2018 1:52pm

Some great ruck clearouts in the build up to that try.

Peregrine · 17-03-2018 1:56pm

17-5 is a great lead but Italy can leak tries if Scotland get the ball back.

Subpopulus · 17-03-2018 1:56pm

That Minozzi try is my favourite of the championship. Relentless pressure, going through the phases, and then a risky kick through to take the try. Great stuff.

That gold number on the Italian jersey is hard to see at times!

Decent driving maul by Scotland there

Is it just me or are Italy being ripped off by the ref? Scotland hand on the ground at the ruck when Italy won the Scotland lineout, then static maul for 10 seconds and never said "that's once" or "use it".

That penalty could have been given for a couple of things, given for Scotland holding on, but also a Scottish player came in from the side. Excellent try line defense by the Italians

Handbags now

Who is doing the co commentary, is it Luuuuuuke?

Scotland think there world beaters after beating England now they can’t back it up.

bloodless_coup · 17-03-2018 2:16pm

Italy high temp when attacking

Clegg · 17-03-2018 2:18pm

Italy butchered a certain try.

Pass the ball to your best back you muppets.

The pace they were coming onto the ball following that line out was incredible.

ScrubsfanChris · 17-03-2018 2:18pm

Couple of Italians with white line fever there, cost their team a try maybe twice.

Power of home advantage

Italy butchered a try there by going to the maul - was definite gaps being created in the Scottish defense

nice_guy80 · 17-03-2018 2:25pm

they just needed a strike runner to hit the line

Honestly, I think that it's just naivety that they have as a whole but it looks like they are having it hard at match time.

Whoop, despite Parisse trying to butcher it again.

bloodless_coup · 17-03-2018 2:36pm

****e

ScrubsfanChris · 17-03-2018 2:36pm

Itlay had to be smarter there, take the conversion as quick as possible. Bad captaincy.

Subpopulus · 17-03-2018 2:37pm

Parisse is starting to become a bit of a liabilty. That's the same overcut pass that he threw last week to fluff an otherwise excellent attacking move.

rebel girl 15 · 17-03-2018 2:37pm

Argh Parisse! Butchered that - after a great try by Negri

bloodless_coup · 17-03-2018 2:38pm

Yeessss

Ryan Wilson just gave yer man a friendly hug and sent him on his way.

PTH2009 · 17-03-2018 2:40pm

and we were worried about Scotland this time last week ??

rebel girl 15 · 17-03-2018 2:40pm

Great break up the middle! Nice try - poor minding of the ball by Scotland

To be fair when they're confident they're very potent, but they get deflated and ragged so easily.
