What channel is Italy v Scotland Six Nations 2024 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Italy v Scotland in a Six Nations 2024 match, including TV details and more.
Scotland travel to Rome to face an Italy team who have lost all three of their games so far in this year’s Six Nations.
Head coach Gregor Townsend will have to find a strategic balance that allows him to rest key players for a pivotal final day clash with Ireland, but also field a squad he can be confident beats Italy with a bonus point.
The latter is particularly important, as if Ireland beat England on Saturday with a bonus point, they’ll have clinched the championship.
Scotland will need all available points to ensure they capitalise on any Ireland slip-ups at Twickenham.
Italy coach Gonzalo Quesada will be aiming to have Perpignan fly-half Tommaso Allan back in the squad after he was rested during their draw with France.
Quesada may be hoping that Townsend features a changed backline, and will count on the likes of Allan, Paolo Garbisi and Ange Capuozzo to take advantage of that.

Italy v Scotland key player to watch
Cameron Redpath (Scotland)
With Sione Tuipulotu sidelined for the remainder of the tournament with a knee injury, it’s expected that Bath’s Cameron Redpath will slot in alongside Huw Jones in Rome.
Tuipulotu’s absence is a big gap to fill, but Redpath has been excellent when coming off the bench for the Glasgow centre throughout this year’s tournament - and it’s a trend he’ll likely continue.
Italy v Scotland prediction
Italy will be equally encouraged and disappointed by their draw to France, given that Garbisi’s kick was inches away from recording a historic win. But Scotland come off the back of an emphatic win over England.
While Italy will no doubt open the match with resilience, the Scots will surely overcome them as the game grows on.
