Live Italia v Scotland Six Nations | Italia Scotland Rugby
Scotland play host to Italy at Murrayfield this weekend looking to reassert their dominance in what has become a keenly-contested fixture.
The two sides meet for the 17th time with the Azzurri having had the better of their most recent encounters with victories in 2007, 2008 and 2010. However, the Scots did prevent a hat-trick of defeats with a 26-6victory in their last Murrayfield clash in 2009 and they can also boast a Rugby World Cup pool match victory at Saint Etienne in 2007.
Scotland claimed a 29-22 victory in their first official Test clash in 1996 in a major Test and lead the overall stats with 10 victories to the Italians 6 although that advantage is reduced to just one game in the history of the Championship.
Scotland hold the record for the highest score, the biggest winning margin and highest try-return of the series. They won 47-15 and scored six tries at Murrayfield when the sides met in a World Cup warm-up match in August 2003. Italy's best result is their 37-17 Six Nations win at Murrayfield in 2007, when they scored four tries.
Diego Dominguez, with 29 points for Italy in Rome in 2000, holds the series record for most points scored in a match. Brendan Laney scored 24 for Scotland, also in Rome, in 2002.
Kenny Logan set the record for most tries in a match, scoring two for Scotland when the sides first met, at Murrayfield, in 1996. Luca Martin crossed twice for Italy there in 1999.
Logan also heads the list of try scorers for the overall series, crossing four times in six appearances between 1996 and 2003. Five Italians, including the Bergamasco brothers, have scored two tries in the matches.
The other major records for the fixture include Chris Paterson's overall tally of 107 points from 11 appearances (compared with 94 for Italy by Diego Dominguez), and Scott Murray's 11 appearances (1998 to 2007) in the series. Paterson and Simon Taylor have also played 11 times.
Alessandro Troncon and Andrea Lo Cicero each played 10 times for Italy. The only player dismissed during a Scotland-Italy match was Massimo Giovanelli at Murrayfield in 1999.

Live Online Rugby England vs. Ireland on your PC | 6 Nations Rugby
England tackle Ireland on Saturday in the hope of securing the Six Nations title and the highly-prized Grand Slam for the first time since 2003.
Martin Johnson's side enter the clash with significant momentum having seen off the challenge of a resurgent Scotland at Twickenham last weekend - their fourth successive victory in this year's campaign. Earlier victories over Wales, Italy and France put them on course for glory and a rare win over the Irish in Dublin would see them complete their 13th Championship clean sweep. However, a narrow defeat may still be enough for the Six Nations crown due to their superior points difference. Title rivals Wales must not only hope their celtic rivals do them a favour at Lansdowne Road but also put 40+ points on France in Paris.
Ireland will enter the clash in bullish mood despite a mixed season that has included unconvincing victories over Italy and Scotland and error-laden defeats at the hands of France and Wales. The history books make happy reading with Ireland victories in six of their last eight encounters while England cannot boast a victory in the Irish capital since the day they wrapped up the Grand Slam in 2003 when a certain Martin Johnson was their captain.
Reduced to Six Nations also-rans, Ireland will relish the opportunity to derail England's quest for glory but to do so they must conjure the kind of performance that has evaded their predecessors in this year's Championship. And they will not find things easy against an England side brimming with confidence and sensing something special.
Ireland - Player to Watch: Jonathan Sexton has beaten Ronan O'Gara to the Ireland No.10 shirt despite failing to impress as a replacement against Wales last weekend. Can he re-discover the form that helped put England to the sword 12 months ago? Or will he be making way for O'Gara sooner than he would have hoped?
Ireland - Team News: In addition to Sexton's return to the starting XV, Keith Earls moves to fullback in place of Luke Fitzgerald who misses out on the 22 altogether. There is also a recall for Ulster wing Andrew Trimble who fills the spot vacated by Earls. Leinster scrum-half Eoin Reddan has been named in the starting line-up despite suffering a concussion in the opening seconds last weekend, with Peter Stringer on the bench.
England - Player to Watch: Matt Banahan will make his only second Test start at outside centre in place of the injured Mike Tindall - can the 6ft 7in and 18st giant make an impression on Ireland's midfield and turn the tide in the favour of his side?
England - Team News: Nick Easter will captain the side in the absence of Tindall who picked up an ankle ligament strain in the victory over the Scots. Banahan's promotion from the replacements is the only change to the side that took to the field at Twickenham last time out. Saracens wing David Strettle, whose last Test appearance for England came against New Zealand on the 2008 summer tour, will fill the vacant back's position on the bench.
Key Battle: Both sides may come wanting to play expansive rugby but that can only be done with the ball. As a result expect a fierce contest at the breakdown especially between the back-rows that boast many of the in-form players in this year's Championship. Ireland's David Wallace, Sean O'Brien and Jamie Heaslip go up against England's Tom Wood, James Haskell and Nick Easter.
Trivia: Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll was also skipper the day England wrapped up the Grand Slam in Dublin in 2003 - scrum-half Peter Stringer, fly-half Ronan O'Gara and lock Paul O'Connell are also survivors from that day. O'Driscoll is also looking to eclipse Scotland's Ian Smith as the Championship's all-time leading try-scorer having equalled his mark of 24 with his score against Wales.
Stats: England manager Martin Johnson appears to have a very settled group of players having used just 17 different players in his starting XVs during this year's Championship.
Quote Unquote:
"Contrary to popular belief we never banned anything in this squad, certainly not talking about Grand Slams. We couldn't win the Grand Slam in any other game, but we can in this one." - England boss Martin Johnson has the big prize in his sights.
"They [England] will have some nerves like you would for any Grand Slam game and it's our job to try to bring those nerves out and compound them." - Ireland skipper Brian O'Driscoll looks for England's weak point.
The Odds: Fancy Ireland to upset the formbook and extend their Dublin dominance? Bet365 are offering what appears to be a quite generous 7-4 for the hosts to come out on top.
Fantasy: England winger Chris Ashton remains two tries short of the Championship single season record of 8 jointly held by held by England's Cyril Lowe (1914) and Scotland's Ian Smith (1925). If you fancy him to re-write the record books then he needs to be in your ESPNscrum Fantasy Rugby Game team.
Prediction: Expect Ireland to raise their game but come up short against an increasingly assured England side that knows how to slug it out and turn on the style.
