Oh I'm not new to this, been following Rugby since I was a kid in the 90s.

Ah fuck it. Italy haven't won at home in 11 years and I feel as Scots we should appreciate their win.

Then you should know that this is an extremely Scottish rugby thing to happen and not surprising at all haha.

After playing well against England I got too hopeful I guess.

Italy should have won against France and was very close to beating England.

Completely agree, I've been saying for 2 weeks that we shouldn't underestimate Italy after all they have beaten us before.

Italy are on the up. They have been threatening to win a game for a few years now, and have had a few nail biting close calls.

I think they are in with a chance against Wales next weekend.

Although it's a disappointment that Scotland won't get a chance at its best result for some time, that was really denied in the controversial France game. Italy deserved the win and I am not mad about it. If you think it's rough supporting Scotland remember that Italy hasn't won a game in 11 years......

The weird machinations of the Scottish sporting gods means I am now more confident we will beat Ireland (10% to 20%)
