    Jamie Ritchie is in from the side so Italy can send the ball into touch to try and get a consolation try onto the board.

    67. It's just the basics that Italy are getting wrong and Franco Smith will not be happy.

    Almost every Italian player is in front of Carlo Canna as he takes the restart so it will be a Scottish scrum on halfway.

    SCOTLAND 45-10 ITALY

    66. Stuart Hogg adds the two extra points.

    Fifty points is the most conceded by Italy so far this tournament, but you'd think Scotland will reach that mark and beyond today.

  • Giacomo Pisa

    SCOTLAND 43-10 ITALY

    66. Sam Johnson does brilliantly to stay on his feet after two Italian tackles and stretch to touch the ball down over the line.

    Scotland are past forty points.

    65. PENALTY TO SCOTLAND!

    The hosts drive the Azzurri back on their own scrum and pick up another penalty which is quickly taken.

    64. The scrum collapses pretty instantly so Pascal Gauzere calls for it to be reset.

    There's just ovoer fifteen minutes left to play at Murrayfield.

    SCOTLAND 38-10 ITALY

    63. Duhan van De Merwe is denied another try after a knock on in the build-up by Scotland.

    It's a shame it's been chalked off because the move involved a through-the-legs pass from Stuart Hogg behind him to van De Merwe.

    It will be an Italy scrum on their own five metre line.

    TMO REVIEW

    There's another TMO review for potential foul play here.

    Michele Lamaro is penalised for an illegal clear out, but it's determined to be shoulder to shoulder, rather than to the head of Jamie Ritchie.

    Lamaro is a lucky boy there he could have easily seen yellow or red for that challenge.

    Here's a look at Scotland's latest try, score by Scott Steele.

    TMO REVIEW

    61. Monty Ioane could be in trouble here.

    He tackles Stuart Hogg with a dump tackle and lets go of Hogg as he falls to the ground.

    Hogg is lucky he lands on his back rather than his head, so it's just a yellow card for Ioane.

    As one sin bin ends for Italy another begins as Monty Ioane is sent off for ten minutes.

    SCOTLAND 38-10 ITALY

    60. The scrum holds and Varney spins the ball into the hands of Canna.

    He sends the ball downfield which is well taken by Graham who makes good ground as he runs it back at the Italian defence.

  • Giacomo Pisa

    SCOTLAND 38-10 ITALY

    59. Some respite for Italy as the Scottish lineout isn't straight.

    It will be a scrum on the Italy twenty-two metre line which Stephen Varney will put in.

  • Giacomo Pisa

    SCOTLAND 38-10 ITALY

    58. Penalty to Scotland.

    Stephen Varney with a high tackle on Darcy Graham and yet another penalty conceded by Italy.

    Scotland send the ball into the corner again to set up another attack.

    56. Knock on.

    Italy finally get their hands on the ball in the Scotland half but immediately give up the chance of an attack.

    Substitute Juan Ignacio Brex knocks the ball on and it will be a Scotland put in to the scrum.

    SCOTLAND 38-10 ITALY

    54. As easy as you like for Scotland as Scott Steele bundles over for Scotland's sixth of the game.

    This could end up being Italy's worst defeat of the tournament.

    Stuart Hogg adds the two extra points and extends Scotland's lead to twenty-eight points.

    52. No surprises that Scotland are turning down the chance for three points and instead opt for a scrum.

    It's five metres out from the Italian line, in a perfect attacking position.

    51. Penalty to Scotland.

    Federico Mori with one of the most blatant offsides you'll ever seen and it's a Scottish penalty in front of the posts.

    Sebastian Negri is then penalised for slapping the ball Hamish Watson's hands and is sent to the sin bin.

    ITALY ARE DOWN TO FOURTEEN MEN AGAIN!

  • Giacomo Pisa

    SCOTLAND 31-10 ITALY

    50. Another Italian error as the ball is stolen by Scotland at the lineout.

    The Azzurri are then penalised for not rolling away after tackling.
