Italy hold on to secure their first Six Nations home win since 2013 as Scotland's title hopes are all but ended by a second-half collapse in Rome.
Italy held on despite intense late pressure to secure their first Six Nations home win since 2013 as Scotland's title hopes were all but ended by an abject second-half collapse in Rome.
Garbisi had kicked the hosts into an almost instant lead, but Scotland replied with tries from Zander Fagerson and Kyle Steyn before Ignacio Brex went over for Italy - all within the opening 15 minutes. Scotland could have been spooked but instead went through 17 phases straight from the restart before Fagerson crawled just over the line from under the ruck.
Scotland next try was not long in coming, however, as Schoeman dropped over at the back of a rolling maul. There was still time for Skinner to score under the posts, but ultimately the clock was not on Scotland's side as Gregor Townsend's side paid again for a poor final quarter with their first loss to Italy for eight years."It was a tough game. I think we managed to become good in the second half. We didn't deal with the first half the way we should. It's a special day, though, it's a step on the growth of the team. I'm happy for them to experience a win.
