Scotland are out of contention for the Six Nations 2022 title but a routine victory over Italy would nudge them into the race for the 'best of the rest' tag.

That may not be enough to placate fans who expected Scotland to challenge for the title as dark horses in 2022.

Gregor Townsend's men have been inconsistent so far, having toppled England in their opener before falling to defeats against Wales and France.

Italy continue to trundle on their 35-game winless run with little to suggest they're about to end their barren streak.

The Italians' last outing saw them crushed 57-6 by Ireland, taking their points difference to a miserable -111 after just three rounds.
