    Kicking off at 2PM, live on Virgin 1.

    Scotland: 15-Stuart Hogg, 14-Tommy Seymour, 13-Huw Jones, 12-Sam Johnson, 11-Blair Kinghorn; 10-Finn Russell, 9-Greig Laidlaw; 1-Allan Dell, 2-Stuart McInally, 3-Willem Nel, 4-Ben Toolis, 5-Grant Gilchrist, 6-Sam Skinner, 7-Jamie Ritchie, 8-Ryan Wilson.

    Replacements: 16-Jake Kerr, 17-Jamie Bhatti, 18-Simon Berghan, 19-Gary Graham, 20-Josh Strauss, 21-Ali Price, 22-Adam Hastings, 23-Chris Harris.

    Italy: 15-Jayden Hayward, 14-Angelo Esposito, 13-Luca Morisi, 12-Tommaso Castello, 11-Michele Campagnaro; 10-Tommaso Allan, 9-Tito Tebaldi; 1-Andrea Lovotti, 2-Leonardo Ghiraldini, 3-Simone Ferrari, 4-David Sisi, 5-Dean Budd, 6-Sebastian Negri, 7-Braam Steyn, 8-Sergio Parisse.

    Replacements: 16-Luca Bigi, 17-Cherif Traore, 18-Tiziano Pasquali, 19-Jimmy Tuivaiti, 20-Federico Ruzza, 21-Guglielmo Palazzani, 22-Ian McKinley, 23-Edoardo Padovani.

    I'm expecting a home win but unlike other years they'll be made fight for it a lot harder than they're used to. The Italy 3/4 are capable of a lot of pace and they've been faring better in the Pro 14 as a whole compared to previous seasons. Oh and Finn Russell is playing as well, which is as good as a sixteenth man for them :pac:

    I think we're all too busy watching the most important game of the day:

    Cheetahs Vs Kings.

    I was watching it in Smithfiled; they justly had the big screen up for it.

    That line out was very very crooked. Scotland very fortunate

    That's a pen against Laidlaw for diving on the ball there

    Italy always disadvantaged by their level of English, don’t think they had a clue what ref was saying their about ball being out.

    Great work and savvy by the Scottish pack to win that turnover, and ultimately a try.

    They ran an ad just before kick off. Next thing the ad cuts off short as the Italian forwards chase the kick off, ad music still playing in the background.

    Scottish defensive line offside, particularly the centers.

    Bagpipers playing a blinder, fans just sit and listen though. Bunch of weirdos.

    Quick line out wasn’t 5. AR missing basics on that side.

    For such a dry day some of the handling errors are scary. Like the one that gave away the scrum that led to the try.

    Ah bloody hell italy, from a 2 man overlap to a knock on and a try given away.

    Russel pass was forward, should have atleast been checked.

    Italy look borderline hopeless here.

    Good example of getting your best players on the pitch, kinghorn normally a full-back scoring 2 tries on the wing

    They’re getting no luck from the officials in fairness.
    Very frustrating for COS I’d imagine

    Italy look out of their depth alright. Could be a big hammering in the second half.

    Italy poor enough without getting completely shafted from this excuse for a referee
