With the score of 26-14 Italrugby was beaten today by the Scottish team.

A defeat that smacks of mockery, given that Italy had a chance to win the game in the final but without being able to break through the defensive wall erected by the Scots.

The Italian national team thus collects the fifth consecutive defeat in as many matches in the Six Nations tournament, having also lost against France, England, Ireland and Wales and wins the virtual prize of the "wooden spoon", little coveted recognition that Italy has "won" 14 times, like France.

Rugby Six Nations, Scotland vs Italy

Today's meeting

Four destinations for the hosts, one for Italy.

The first half ended at 12-6 for Scotland, who scored two tries (with a conversion) against two set pieces signed by Allan.

In the second half, another goal for the hosts (transformed), then Italy with a goal by Allan and a set piece by Garbisi reopens the match (19-14) and in the last minutes attacks in search of the goal, which fades for a breath.

Scotland, on the other hand, found the fourth try at the end of the match closing on the final 26-14.
