A huge double blow for Scotland as Finn Russell and Darcy Graham are both forced off after a sickening collision. A huge ovation for the wing, who is stretchered off. Russell off for a HIA

Pieter de Villiers with plenty of technical chat earlier about Ireland's 'aggressive' scrum There was praise, too, for Andrew Porter as Scotland's scrum coach dismissed the significance of injuries to Furlong & McCarthy

@black13695888 He was excellent in the autumn but doing a very different job That ability to play as a second receiver & take pressure off Finn could be useful going forward But a first test start at 12 vs Bundee Aki? It would be a huge show of faith from Townsend

@MrJimmyGlitter1 Big difference in the teams, I think, but he's looked more like the form he hit at Exeter recently

Jones and Darge outstanding for Scotland, but that third quarter a serious concern as the Italians grew into the game Scotland got so much joy from playing with width in the first half but seemed to tighten up when pressure came on

Enterprising start from Scotland who are getting lots of joy on the edge of the Italian defence

“He wasn't very happy with his performances in November whereas we were and I'm sure the public were." Gregor Townsend says Darcy Graham wasn't satisfied with his autumn output, but so encouraging for Scotland that the winger feels he's more to give ahead of the Six Nations
