Arghh.

Scotland win the ball back from Italy's lineout, but Jack Dempsey slices an attempted kick into touch.

They fall back on another penalty, but Gregor Townsend still has his head in his hands.

With just over two minutes left, the Italian PA announcer screams out "Ole, ole, ole, ole".

He's confident.

Another huge Italian scrum brings another penalty.

Paolo Garbisi turns down the points on offer in favour of field position.

Scotland can't build any momentum with the game on the line.

A handling error means Italy have a scrum in the opposition half. Gregor Townsend watches on, stoney-faced.

Nothing riding on these closing minutes for Scotland - apart from their entire championship, the future of their coach, the wellbeing of the rugby nation...

Scotland have been far from perfect today but if they can manage to resurrect something in the last eight minutes, it's really powerful sign going forward.

A lovely kick in behind from Paolo Garbisi finds touch.

Italy will want to keep Scotland penned in their own half, but they give away a penalty which allows Finn Russell to boot the visitors over halfway.

Ten minutes left as the rain continues to tumble in Rome.

George Horne is probably grateful it is a wet as it is because he was able to glide across the ground.

There's the urgency!

Fair play to Scotland. That was a big call to go for the corner and they get their reward.

George Horne has been slapping his team-mates on the chest trying to pump them up since he came on.

That was an excellent finish that gives Scotland hope here.

Has the tide turned?

There's never been a draw in the history of this fixture.

Former Scotland international on BBC One

They got the momentum and George Horne, it was the only thing he could do.

He spins, does he get it down? Yes he does. It's a brilliant finish in the corner.

SCOTLAND WIN THEIR OWN LINEOUT!!

Scotland win a penalty in the Italy 22.

"Don't gamble. Do not gamble," pleads my colleague.

They're not listening - Finn Russell kicks to the corner and Scotland's lineout will be under the spotlight again.

George Horne, Max Williamson, Nathan McBeth and Elliot Millar Mills are all introduced by Gregor Townsend.

George Turner is also back on.

Scotland work some space out on the right, but Huw Jones throws a wild pass behind everyone and into touch.

This match is slipping away from Scotland and yet there is no sense of any urgency. It's almost like they are resigned to their fate.

The conditions have been shocking, but that only partially excuses this performance. Scotland have been poor.

Still, at least George Turner's yellow card will not be upgraded and he can return in two minutes.

Scotland will take any small wins at this point.
