  1. Donaldson is ‘important change’ - Eassonpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 20 April

    Italy v Scotland (16:45)

    Here’s what Bryan Easson had to say about those changes: "I felt Eva brought some real energy off the bench [in last week's defeat by England]. She's also a good lineout option for us.

    "We've worked pretty hard on our lineout this week and she and Louise McMillan have worked pretty well.

    "She's always brought us energy - that's the one thing you can say about Eva. Around the pitch, away from set-piece as well, she's defensively good. She'll get on ball in attack, and looking at the game ahead, I think it's an important change for us."

  2. Easson changes four after England batteringpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 20 April

    Italy v Scotland (16:45)

    The return of Francesca McGhie is the key change for Scotland. The flying winger took the women’s game by storm last season, but has yet to start in this campaign due to injury.

    Molly Wright also caps her injury comeback with a first Scotland start in over two years, this time coming at loosehead prop.

    Eva Donaldson makes a first ever Scotland start in her 10th cap, while Lise Thomson is back in at inside centre.

    Leah Bartlett, Fi McIntosh, Meryl Smith and Coreen Grant drop to the bench.

  4. Good afternoon!published at 16:31 British Summer Time 20 April

    Italy v Scotland (16:45 KO)

    Hello and welcome to our coverage of Scotland's fourth Six Nations game, with Bryan Easson's side looking to get back on track after two defeats.

    They started brilliantly with a win against Wales, they fought with France until the 82nd minute, but then were comfortably rolled over by England.

    If they are to pick up a second win of the campaign, they'll have to do something they've not done since 1999 - win in Italy.

    Let's have a look at the teams.
