0 from 3 so far. Their year to do what ? Lose by a record margin ?
Nah. Only kidding. My prediction is actually a 3-3 draw with the Italian kicker having a mare and leaving 18 points out on the field.

Yeah I dunno, the Scots haven’t tripped over Italy for awhile like they have in the past. Can’t see that happening.

Scotland should be far too good for Italy but they always seem to have one shit performance in them every now and then. Good luck for Saturday though mate 👍

So yeah, wouldn’t be surprised if they lost both games from here on in given they won the one that matters ( to them )

The Italian grown ups might be struggling but their younger counterparts are doing something very right at U20 level
Italy have beaten England this campaign and last night smashed Scotland playing all the rugby and scoring tries
Could easily get their third win, against Wales, next weekend

Pearce is just making shit up. Scotland pick up the ball from the ruck, a split second later the Italian knocks it out of his hands. Pearce calls diving on the ball, ignoring Scotland holding it on the ground before that.
A few other examples of him making up an Italian offence immediately following an ignored Scottish one.

If ever that phrase looked stupid. What kind of fucking picnics do you have Miles?
Scotland straight on on first phase snd the comms praise the defense ….
