He was on punditry duty for Virgin Media as the Azzurri defeated Scotland 31-29
Ian McKinley couldn't contain his excitement as Italy stunned Scotland on Saturday afternoon in Rome.
Scotland’s Six Nations campaign unravelled in disastrous fashion in Rome as they crashed to a first defeat against Italy since 2015. This chastening defeat in the Eternal City is sure to crank up the heat on head coach Townsend five months after exiting the World Cup at the group-stage. The visitors crossed the whitewash again five minutes later when they worked the ball out to the right and Blair Kinghorn fed Steyn, who bundled his way past two Italians to cross the line. Russell converted again.
Italy finished the first half strongly and reduced their interval deficit to 22-16 with a couple of penalties kicked by Garbisi and then Page-Relo, who was on target from close to the half-way line. The Scots found themselves in trouble in the 57th minute when the Italians got themselves in front as replacement scrum-half Stephen Varney found a gap between Andy Christie and Jack Dempsey to nudge his way over. This time Garbisi was on target.
