Italy beat the Scots for the first time since 2015 in a sold-out Stadio Olimpico

Every England player in India rated out of 10 - and whose futures are in doubtThis was Italy’s first victory over the Scots since 2015 and only their second Six Nations win since then, having beaten Wales in 2022.

A blistering start then continued with the first Italian try, as Ignacio Brex perfectly timed his run onto a dinked kick from Martin Page-Relo, sneaking ahead of George Horne to score. Italy then dominated the closing phase of the first half, with both Garbisi and Page-Relo converting their penalties, the latter from 45 yards, to somewhat close the gap.It appeared as though the Azzuri had not done enough to capitalise on their late first-half advantage when Horne crossed two minutes into the second-half, but Schoeman was judged to have obstructed the opposition and the try was ruled out.
