Italy will surely improve by trying to play positive, entertaining rugby while Stuart Hogg showcases his talent for Scotland
Italy have failed to score a point in two out of three Six Nations matches so far. While that is the dismal reality for the coach Franco Smith and his players to reflect on before their trip to Ireland in a couple of weeks, it would be wrong to write off this talented group. The Azzurri are trying to play positive, entertaining rugby and players such as the back-row Jake Polledri, the wings Matteo Minozzi and Mattia Bellini and the fly-half Tommaso Allan have had their moments, especially in Paris, while Scotland were forced to scrap for success in Rome on Saturday. Italy must improve their defensive discipline and get the scoreboard moving at the other end. Easier said than done? Of course, but they are not a million miles away. Luke McLaughlin
