64% possession and 68%territiry and still only 6 points up....not good.

Not the refs best passage from the Ritchie "knock on" to that penalty.

Not ideal but missing the two key players in the backs it's better than being 6 down.

Fine finish. VDM back to doing things he's good at.

Nige feeling sorry for Italy there. Being off your feet and stopping the 9 playing the ball is always given as a penalty.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:38 pm**

That was some pretty impressive defence initially

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:38 pm**

Kinghorn is lanky but is quite strong in those type of finishes.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:39 pm**

Its a game that is really lacking in quality.

Yeah it was very odd. Whilst the second Italian was legal he only had the opportunity because of the illegality of the first.

It is.

Both sides needing the win for different reasons might be putting too much pressure on themselves. Both are short of their best players too without the quality in depth.

For me this week is just about winning.

Fusco is having a terrible game, needs to be hooked.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:43 pm**

That pass followed by a not straight in the line out really illustrating ASMO's point.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:44 pm**

That's was not a good turnover.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:47 pm**

Cheap exit.

Usually Fagerson Snr gives the soft ones away not Jnr.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:50 pm**

Italy just keep butchering chance, after chance, after chance .....

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:50 pm**

Just...........terrible

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:50 pm**

More weak defence by Steyn. That Italian should be put into touch.

What are these Italian chances you speak of?

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:52 pm**

A bit harsh from the ref telling fatty Zander he needs to control his weight

Until we have two Urc teams with an all-foreign halfback partnership how are players like Fusco expected to just step in and do a job at international level against vastly more experienced opponents

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:55 pm**

Allan gives a pass to his wing with 3 scottish players ready to smash him. Grazie Allan!!

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:56 pm**

Italy trying to play too much rugby.

Gray got 19min more than he deserved.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:56 pm**

Allen is not an international standard anything

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:57 pm**

White had a good 6N.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 1:59 pm**

That was nice.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:00 pm**

Going to make the last 18 mins interesting

Allan might be, though.

You can't fault Italy's ambition, but their skills let them down too often, but as said above, they've too small a pool of players

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:02 pm**

Italy looking fitter here.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:03 pm**

Italy might be favourites here.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:06 pm**

If Italy end without a win you still have to say that over 5 matches it’s the most competitive they’ve ever been. They’ve sorted out their open play pens, defence is good, stopped dropping so many balls. They still need to work out when to kick or not and find some better attacking lines but they are better.

Oh God, I don’t know the points difference situation. Could they finish ahead of us?

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:09 pm**

To Torque's greatest dismay, we must admit that Scotland without Finn is only a shadow of the team it can be.

Before this game you were at -50 and they were -48, so it's certainly a possibility that a win for them does condemn you to the wooden spoon after all.

Redpath and Price really added some energy and quality

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:18 pm**

Big paw by Skinner.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:18 pm**

Italy missing so many chances. Normally a single player with blood rush to head.
