  1. Italy 29-0 Scotland

    It is as you were as Italy attack, lock Giordana Duca loping towards the line, then Alyssa D'Inca seems to have a hat-trick in sight until she spills the ball just as she dives for the corner.

  2. Kick-off

    Italy 29-0 Scotland

    And we're back under way with Italy kicking off. There's no respite in the conditions either for Scotland, the shadow of the main stand is spreading across the pitch but it's still scorching.

  3. Italy 29-0 Scotland

    Italy are heading for a bonus-point win that will move them into third and they could stay there depending on how the France-Ireland game pans out tonight.

    That will be available to watch online and on BBC 2 Northern Ireland with Nicola McCarthy, Lindsay Peat and Edel McMahon from 20:00 BST.

    Really seeing the lack of depth in Scotland. A lot of players doing their best but missing their world class centre and backrow players is telling.

    Stu, Edinburgh

    I think it's time up for Fukufoka already. I know we've got injuries but clearly something is not right with the Scots women!

  5. Half-time

    Italy 29-0 Scotland

    Understatement time: that's a half to forget for Scotland, but it could get worse as Italy have threatened every time they have the ball in the last 10 minutes or so.

    The timing was perfect, the finish was phenomenal and the celebration from the team and the crowd all worthy.

    Aura Muzzo (con: Sillari)

    As I was saying...

    Off the top of the lineout, the Italians move it right then a no-look inside pass from Madia pops into the path of Aura Muzzo, who glides over under the posts.

  8. Italy 22-0 Scotland

    It feels like Italy will score every time they get the ball, regardless of where the move starts from.

    Scotland continue to be rubbish. Learned nothing from the last week. Error after error, hard to see that the coaches have brought any organisation to the squad.

    Looks like Scotland are playing with lead in their boots! Italy dominating every aspect of the game

  10. Game over?

    Italy 22-0 Scotland

    Andy Burke

    Scotland are being blown away here.

    Italy are playing with intensity, accuracy and ambition, all the things absent from the Scottish display.

  11. 'Phenomenal'

    Italy 22-0 Scotland

    Danielle Waterman
    Former England international on BBC iPlayer

    That was a world-class pass to get it to D'inca the set-up play and the line-break. That pass a double-skip phenomenal!

    Converted try - Italy 22-0 Scotland

    Alyssa D'Inca (con: Sillari)

    Sofia Stefan sliced through the Scottish defence until stopped a few metres short, then the ball moved right and a wonderful pass from Madia found Alyssa D'Inca, who raced into the corner for her second.

    Another superb try from the impressive hosts.

  13. 'Steam-rolling' over the line

    Danielle Waterman

    The biggest smile for Zanette there, her set-piece gave her the platform. But the follow up, they flooded the channels, they're not waiting around at the base for the Scottish to get organised, they have steam-rolled their way over.

  14. Italy 'making Scotland question themselves'

    Italy 10-0 Scotland

    Danielle Waterman
    Former England international on BBC iPlayer

    Italy look really energised in defence. Scotland just need a little more patience down there, they need to trust their formation and structure, but Italy look more energised and are making Scotland question themselves.

    Try - Italy 15-0 Scotland

    Vittoria Zanette

    Wonderful rugby from Italy!

    Sofia Stefan, Veronica Madia and Alyssa D'Inca exchanges passes down the right hand flank in a rapier-like attack to within a couple of meters of the Scottish line, then prop Vittoria Zanette smashes over from close range for her second try.

  16. Italy 10-0 Scotland

    Excellent defence from the hosts snuffs out Scotland's hopes after they move the ball acroos the posts, Francesca Sgorbini executing a turnover before Sofia Stefan kicks the ball towards halfway.

  17. Italy 10-0 Scotland

    Scotland spin the ball right, but while the passes are loose they retain possession. Smith elects to kick another penalty to five metres from the try line.

  18. Italy 10-0 Scotland

    Cunningham recovers enough to carry on, and from a scrum Scotland finally get into the Italian half and then kick a penalty into the Italian 22 from the boot of Meryl Smith.

  19. 'England made Scotland look poor'

    I think we haven't seen Scotland's game yet today, but I think there is still plenty of time. England made Scotland look very poor at times when actually they weren't when you unpick the nitty and gritty of it.

  20. Italy 10-0 Scotland

    Scotland string some phases together, moving the ball to both flanks but then the whistle goes as lock Hollie Cunningham needs treatment aftter taking a hefty challenge.
