Italy vs Scotland preview:

This is the bottom of the table clash, but by no means do I think it is not going to entertaining. Italy lost their previous game against France, but I believe that they where the better team in the second half. They finally attacked with some intensity and they found gaps in the French defense. Franco Smith’s plan is finally starting to take shape and they are playing like a team on the way up. The Scottish team had a very good start to the tournament, and I believe that the only reason why they lost their two opening games was because of a mistake by their captain. He is a great player but in both games he made one mistake that cost his team the game. Saying that I do believe that they are a very good team and they will be a force to reckon with when they come to South-Africa in the June July tests. Both these teams will want to step up their game and move the ball to the wing so that their speedsters can finish.

My prediction:

I believe this is going to be a very exiting game to watch, and there is going to be a lot of running and tries, but I still believe that Scotland are going to come out on top.
