What TV channel is showing Italy v Scotland?

Amazon Prime Video acquired the broadcast rights to Italy v Scotland and most of the Autumn Nations Cup matches, meaning the games won’t be shown on any terrestrial TV channels.

Viewers will be able to watch the match via the Amazon Prime Video app either through their smart TV or digital device, or use an Amazon Fire TV stick or Google Chromecast to screen it on their TVs.

What was the score the last time Scotland played Italy?

Supporters won’t have to think back too far to this year’s Six Nations tournament which saw Scotland register a comfortable 17-0 defeat of Italy in February.

Tries from captain Stuart Hogg, Chris Harris and Adam Hastings, who also added a conversion, gave Scotland their first win in six games in the Six Nations.

The Italians endured another difficult Six Nations in 2020, losing all five of their fixtures amid speculation Georgia may take their place in the tournament in future years.
