6 Nations Round 4 - Italy v Scotland

[petej]

Italy deserved a result having been unlucky against England and France.

[C T]

Congratulations Italy! The deserved winner.

Does it always have to be vs us though?

[Oxbow]

Congratulations Italy, good result for rugby that.

[PCPhil]

Brilliant match. Well done Italy.

[Ymx]

You beauty Italy.

God they played such a good game !!

[sockwithaticket]

Blimey. Well done Italy.

[Jim Lahey]

Great game, and what a final few minutes

[Tichtheid]

11 years!

Congratulations - Italy were the better side by miles in that second half

[ASMO]

11 years!

Congratulations my friend, utterly deserved

[sockwithaticket]

A win and a draw would be Italy's best result since...?

Edit - 2013 it would seem.

[S/Lt_Phillips]

Well done Italy - great game

[Begbie]

Congratulations Italy, the Tennents Super will be flowing in Rome tonight.

[Paddington Bear]

Yes!!!!

[C69]

Should beat a depleted Wales team in transition next week
By 10.

[SaintK]

Played Italy
Whatever happened to the yellow card for the deliberate knock on by Italy at the end?

The touch judge thought it was a yellow card but the ref didn't

[Plim]

A good watch.

I still rate Scotland but.

If that happens and France beat England (which they should, even if they're looking out of sorts) Italy would finish third. Potentially second depending on what Ireland do to Scotland and how points difference would be affected.

[Paddington Bear]

Italy not a million miles off being 3 from 4, makes for some cracking championships in future

[JM2K6]

Funny game to watch.

Have to say, I don't watch Scottish rugby all that much, but I'm surprised to see so many names on the teamsheet that seem to have been there for years. Jones, Russell, Fagerson, Gilchrist, Turner - all playing some way below their levels of a few years back, and you wonder why after years of middling tournament results we don't see any new names...

[sturginho]

Congratulations Italy! The deserved winner.

Sorry, Scotland have always been very generous to us!

Would think Ireland will hand Scotland a beating of giant proportions.
Wales are basically experimenting at this stage.

I’d have sworn I heard him say a yellow card when he was initially talking it through. Dickson appeared desperate for him to award a penalty try

[Jock42]

Congratulations Italy. Deserved that over the 80.

Scotland are a 40 min team and it's cost them a shit at a GS.

[Begbie]

Would be braw if Italy back it up next week.

He said pen only straight away and Dickson begged him to give the yellow

Hasn't happened since 2007!

[Slick]

Well done Italy. Odd emotions to be really pleased for Italy and pissed off at another 6N passing us by

[Slick]

That would have been funny if it was funny

Chefs kiss emoji here.

But you did win in Cardiff two years ago...

I mean back to back wins, last time was 2007, that was also Scotland and Wales

Yeah, just meant you should take confidence from the win in Wales 2 years ago.

Italy will be big favourites for next week

[sturginho]

Leonardo Marin now has 3 wins and a draw in his last 4 games for italy

Just you be satisfied with your team moving forward and ours going backwards.

I am satirising a couple of posts slick has made about England in recent years

I know but it is a pretty true statement. We're having to wring everything out of the likes of Gilchrist.

To be fair to Gilchrist, I think he's been pretty good this tournament.
