Italrugby mocked in Scotland, another wooden spoon in the Six Nations

Scotland-Italy 26-14

On the final day of the Six Nations 2023, a brave Italy battled until the 80th minute and came close to hitting the jackpot at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, but in the end Scotland held on after a very long Azzurri assault and even scored the mockery goal as time expired.

After a first half that was dominated territorially but ended ahead by only 6 points, Townsend’s team first gave the impression in the second half that they could close out the game, then instead suffered a comeback by Italy, which with Allan’s goal and Garbisi’s spot kick pulled back to -5. The finale had the fans dreaming of an Italy several times close to the big target, then came the mockery: forward with 30 seconds left, winning Scottish scrum and lightning fast restart for the 26-14 final.
