Italy wins a Six Nations home match after 11 years by upsetting Scotland

Associated Press  

ROME — Italy won a Six Nations match at home for the first time in 11 years after overcoming Scotland 31-29 at a sold-out Stadio Olimpico on Saturday. “We still have to improve a lot, but to bring back a win in Rome is unbelievable.” It was Italy’s first home win in the championship since 2013. Italy has been most successful in the Six Nations against Scotland but this eighth win came nine years after its last over the Scots. “Italy played better in the second half and got more points than us so of course they deserved it,” Scotland coach Gregor Townsend told ITV.
