WHEN IN ROME, BE ON YOUR GUARD...

SCOTLAND desperately need a win against Italy on Saturday to get their Six Nations campaign back on track. But they have been beaten four times previously in the Stadio Olimpico: February 5, 2000 — ITALY 34 SCOTLAND 20: The Italians marked their debut in an expanded Six Nations with a famous win, Diego Dominguez kicking an astonishing 29 points. March 6, 2004 — ITALY 20 SCOTLAND 14: The visitors were earmarked for a miserable wooden spoon after being convincingly outplayed. February 27, 2010 — ITALY 16 SCOTLAND 12: Pablo Canavosio’s superb clinching try earned Italy another win in an error-strewn match where Scotland could ony score via the boot of Dan Parks. March 17, 2012 — ITALY 13 SCOTLAND 6: Another wooden spoon was confirmed for the Scots as Giovanbattista Venditti’s try proved the decisive moment.
