Gonzalo Quesada beamed with pride on Saturday after his Italy team of 'nutters' beat Scotland to win their first Six Nations home match in 11 years.

Gonzalo Quesada beamed with pride on Saturday after his Italy team of “nutters” beat Scotland to win their first Six Nations home match in 11 years.

“This team has a group of leaders who do amazing things. I’m proud to have had months to try and bring this team to a win. But it’s only the beginning. The win validates a lot of work but I haven’t changed anything. And the 25-year-old was key for Italy in the final minutes as the hosts held out for 24 phases of play as Scotland tried and failed to get the three points they needed to snatch the win.

Scotland meanwhile gave Ireland a chance to win the second championship in a row with a match to spare, and they now have a fight on their hands to finish in the top two for the first time since winning the last Five Nations in 1999.
