Gregor Townsend’s men scored five tries as they moved up to fourth in the standings ahead of their final match of the tournament next weekend against Ireland in Dublin.
We rate each Scotland player out of ten – with a number of impressive performances.
9. Ali Price
Man of the match, the scrum-half was outstanding in his 50th Scotland game. Italy had no answer to his blistering runs from deep. 9 Photo: Mike Egerton
10. Finn Russell
Measured performance from the stand-off whose long pass played in Johnson for the opening try. Was intercepted on his own 22 but got away with it in a passage of play which led bizarrely to Scotland’s second try. Kicked four of five conversions. 7 Photo: Justin Setterfield
11. Kyle Steyn
Showed great vision to pick out Harris with a delightful kick for the centre’s first score. Didn’t see a huge amount of the ball. 6 Photo: Justin Setterfield
12. Sam Johnson
Back in favour and didn’t take long to make his mark, scoring the game’s opening try after 17 minutes. Was solid thereafter. 7 Photo: Justin Setterfield
