The bottom two in the Six Nations Championship meet at Murrayfield. Scotland have just one win in this year's championship but that was away against England. There are probably some people still celebrating that victory. They host Italy who have lost all four of their games and a fifth defeat is on its way. Since the win over England, Scotland have lost both of their matches. They lost by a single point at home to Wales and then a three point loss at home to Ireland. They could so easily be coming into this match having won all three of their games.

Italy can but wish for such form. They are bottom of the table (again) and in four games have conceded 187 points which is 98 more than any other side. 26 tries have been scored against the Italians, that's over six a match. Their most recent outing was a 48-7 home loss to Wales, each of their four games this season have been lost by at least 23 points. It really does feel like the Five Nations and Italy too. Perhaps they might be inspired by a return to the venue where they won their last Six Nations match. That was back in 2015, but then again perhaps not. Scotland can win this match and overcome a handicap of 27 points.
