After the defeats against England and Ireland and the draw against France, Lamaro and his teammates broke the ice by overcoming the Scots with a fluid and enveloping game. The Azzurri took the lead from the first minute on a free kick from Garbisi then conceded tries from Fagerson (5'), Steyn (7') and Schoeman (29'), the latter being the only one not to be transformed by Russell. For Italy, a try from Brex (14') transformed by Garbisi, then placed by the same kicker and Page-Relo which fixes the first half score at 22-16 for the British.
