Greig Laidlaw of Scotland passes the ball during the RBS Six Nations match between Italy and Scotland at Stadio Olimpico
Scotland claimed their first RBS 6 Nations win in two years as they beat Italy 36-20 in Rome.
The visitors showed kind of killer instinct they have lacked so far this campaign as John Barclay and John Hardie both crossed over inside the opening 17 minutes.
The hosts at the Stadio Olimpico hit back through Leonardo Ghiraldini and Marco Fuser either side of half-time but the dependable boot of skipper Greig Laidlaw kept Scotland ahead.
They were made to sweat in the final stages as both Finn Russell and WP Nel were yellow-carded, but the celebrations were finally able to begin two minutes from time when Tommy Seymour scored the Dark Blues’ decisive third try.
