Six Nations 2022 updates from the Stadio Olimpico as Scotland record a bonus-point victory over Italy despite the Azzurri showing signs of life for the first time this Six Nations.
Centre Chris Harris scored a try double as Scotland recorded a 33-22 win, inflicting a 36th successive defeat in the competition on their hosts.
Centre Sam Johnson, wing Darcy Graham and full back Stuart Hogg also crossed for tries as Scotland came out on top in a game that was compelling, with plenty of loose rugby from both sides compounded by errors.
Italy had managed only a single try in the Six Nations coming into the game, but got three in Rome as scrum half Callum Braley went over in the first half following brilliant work on the touchline by Pierre Bruno and then debutant Ange Capuozzo - who has been tearing up Pro D2 with club side Grenoble this season and has many in Italian rugby incredibly excited - crossed twice to score two late consolation tries, his opening effort giving the home side their first second-half points in this year’s Six Nations.
Scotland move into fourth in the table with 10 points from their four games, while Italy remain marooned at the foot of the standings, having yet to break their duck and with a game to come in Wales next weekend.
