Italy vs Scotland live: how to watch Six Nations game online, TV streams, kickoff time

Scotland's Cameron Redpath running with the ball against England at Murrayfield.

Scotland's hopes of lifting the championship trophy for the first time in the Six Nations era are slim but still alive, and they need a bonus-point victory over Italy at Stadio Olimpico on Saturday in order to stand a chance of forcing a title decider against Ireland next weekend.

A maximum return would pull the Scots within a point of leaders Ireland, who host Gregor Townsend's men in a week's time. That said, Ireland would sew up the 2024 Six Nations title with a four-try victory over England in Saturday's late game.

Scotland's clash with Italy is a meeting of the anti-France alliance, with both teams stinging from being robbed of victory over Les Bleus by dubious refereeing calls. Scotland would have a perfect record if their game-winning try hadn't been controversially ruled out in Round 2, while Paolo Garbisi should have been allowed to retake his last-gasp penalty that pinged off the upright in Round 3, as he was being charged down illegally.

The Azzurri got a draw at least, which brought to an end their seven-game losing streak in the Six Nations – though a win would have lifted them off the bottom of the pile. But with Duhan van der Merwe and Finn Russell in town, there's no time to dwell on what-ifs.
