Six Nations, Italy disaster: it has also been humiliated by Scotland. Yet another wooden spoon coming (photo Ansa)
ROME – Even the "Six Nations of Rugby " of 2020 started in the worst way. After losing 42-0 to Wales and 35-22 to France , the Italian national team also surrendered to Scotland with the score 0-17. This umpteenth defeat condemns the Azzurri to last place in the standings.
Also this year, the "wooden spoon" , which goes to the team that finishes last, is a more than concrete hypothesis. Today is the heaviest defeat because Scotland is the least equipped national team of the tournament (if we remove Italy …). The blues should have scored some points, to close to zero against Scotland is frankly a humiliation …
