Megan Kennedy
Former Scotland prop on BBC ScotlandQuote MessageScotland showed hard work and determination to score that first-half try, but it was something that they lacked in the second half. Italy came out a different side.

Colin Gregor
Former Scotland Sevens captain on BBC ScotlandQuote MessageItaly started the second half really well and got on the front foot. The wet conditions played into the Italian hands, they were less expansive with their attacking game and stuck it up the jumper a bit more. It was too much for Scotland.

No they can't, sadly.
Italy win a penalty at the breakdown, and that is that in Parma - the hosts claim their first win of the tournament.

The clock ticks into the red.
Scotland still have possession, but remain inside their own half.
Can they pull off the miraculous?

Italy 20-13 Scotland
Italy's outside centre has been lethal off the tee this evening.
Her kicking prowess has been a key part of the home side's performance.

She makes no mistake - a great kick considering the conditions!
Scotland need a converted try to tie things up.

Former Scotland prop on BBC ScotlandQuote MessageThat was very much a forward's try, well done to Italy because it's a great rolling maul try. There's still time for Scotland though!

Silvia Turani
The ball was grounded before it was lost forward, and so the try stands.
Scotland have it all to do in Parma as we enter the final eight minutes

Italy look to have forced their way over after a spell of sustained pressure, but the TMO wants to check the grounding...

Italy 13-10 Scotland
Italy set up a rolling maul of their own, which steadily moves forward.
Lucia Gai then breaks away and races over halfway. Fantastic work, and from a tighthead prop no less!

Former Scotland prop on BBC ScotlandQuote MessageI think I'd bring Louise McMillan on. Another line out option and superb at ball carrying and tackling as well. Anne Young is also on the bench so there's another option at prop as well.

Italy 13-10 Scotland
Scotland's rolling maul makes its way to within touching distance of the line.
The visitors then look to go wide, but Megan Gaffney is forced into touch by Aura Muzzo.
Heroic defence from the Italians.

Italy 13-10 Scotland
Brilliant work from Scotland's forwards at the scrum to win a penalty.
They kick to the corner, and will look to showcase their power once more off the back of this line-out.

Back on the field, Scotland work their way into Italy's 22 with some clever play, but Rachel McLaughlin infringes at the breakdown and Italy escape.
Much better though from Scotland - chances are starting to appear...

Jenny Maxwell is now forced off injured - wishing her a speedy recovery.
It looked like she slipped on the increasingly wet surface, and her knee gave way.

Italy 13-10 Scotland
Jenny Maxwell, on as a replacement, does superbly to steal possession at an Italy line-out.
Some much-needed momentum for the visitors.

Former Scotland prop on BBC ScotlandQuote MessageItaly have started this half well - Veronica Madia has come to the fore. Italy have got more fluidity into this game. Scotland's defence is staying strong, I'm impressed with them at the breakdown but Italy are finding a way through.
