THIS thumping defeat for Scotland Under-20s extended their miserable run without a win to a dozen matches, as Italian power proved too much for Kenny Murray’s side to cope with.
The Scots flew out to this Summer Series full of hope that they could stride forward after a tough Six Nations whitewash thanks to more players having been given exposure to Super6 rugby than was previously the case. However, on the evidence of this ineffectual performance, and the 45-15 drubbing to Wales last Saturday, the gap has widened significantly rather than been reduced.
