- Six Nations updates, 2.15pm GMT kick-off at Murrayfield
- France 43-0 Wales | Sign up for The Breakdown | Mail Lee
Another Six Nations campaign begins for Scotland and Italy here at Murrayfield, with both teams perched on a higher ledge on the rockface of improvement that at any time in the recent past.
Gregor Townsend’s side are looking to move beyond the team that is pretty much the sporting manifestation of Sex Panther cologne: “60% of the time, it works every time”. Pushing into being in with a real shout of winning the whole thing come Super Saturday has to be the goal, as even with the loss of Sione Tuipulotu and a few others to injury this squad remains good enough to win the whole thing in this year of putatively less formidable opposition.
