'Only Scotland can score five tries and still make the game a struggle'

We asked for your views on Scotland's bonus point Six Nations victory over Italy at Murrayfield.
Here is what some of you said:
Gordon: Just more of the same again from Scotland, place a little pressure on the team and then panic sets in. There is no evidence this team can tighten up and control the game. Gregor Townsend can't move this squad forward or indeed extract the results which the squad on paper should achieve. I suspect this is the best squad Scotland have ever had too?
Jamie: I had very high hopes for this campaign but injuries and this performance have dented those. After a great start, we made too many mistakes, especially silly penalties to allow a dangerous opponent a lifeline. We need to be more mercenary and dominate for 80+ minutes. Thankfully, Huw Jones, Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham provided the quality needed at key moments.
Adam: A great Scottish win with a crucial score at 19-19 which showed a developing strength of character within this team. The forwards linked well with Finn Russell on attack and Ben Whites' box-kicking was exceptional. We look forward to next weekend with some confidence.
Ronnie: Heard a couple of commentators saying yesterday that it was a "good" performance from Scotland. Bar the opening 15 minutes and the last 20, I'd say it was a pretty lacklustre performance. Ireland will comfortably take the game away from us next week if we play like that.
Roy: Only Scotland can score five tries and still make the game a struggle. That said, Italy are a much tougher prospect nowadays but we have to learn to put teams away when we are in the ascendancy.
Bobby: Well Tom English, what was that you were saying about Dave Cherry's selection? Thank you for motivating the Edinburgh hooker!
