Italians are not only up for this it looks more than just energy but also confidence.

He is certainly no Russell in that respect.

Well that’s the best try I’ve ever seen Italy score. Woke up my neighbour’s budgie celebrating that

Not usually the languages fault, in general terms.

This is Quite some game, it's a great shame that there cannot be a full stadium to show their appreciation to the teams especially Italy so far.

Hate this plague!!!!!!!!!

Just making too many incorrect decisions ball in hand. Feel like we don't have any direction from Weir as the ball isn't moving in the correct direction. Had a few number advantages on Darcy's wing last few minutes of that half, but ball went blind or inside.

Italy playing well. Poor by Scotland so far, though losing two of our best players so early can’t have helped.

Much as I have always liked Weir, and he’s trying, you long for a Russell or even a Hastings to do something a bit unpredictable. Plus Weir’s tackling has been a bit powderpuff - the overlap for the (very good) try came directly from him bouncing off his man.

Scotland need to get out of second gear. We look sluggish. Hogg’s attempt at a Holyrood pass there shows he’s frustrated and is trying things that aren’t on.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

I'd say it was a textbook Holyrood pass.
