ITALY vs SCOTLAND GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

HEAD TO HEAD

- In the sides’ 20 meetings in the Guinness Six Nations, Italy have claimed victory in seven times, while Scotland ran out victorious in the remaining 13 games.

- Scotland have won each of the last four Guinness Six Nations meetings between the teams, including a 29-0 mauling in Edin- burgh back in March 2017.

- Italy and Scotland have won five games apiece in Rome during the Guinness Six Nations era; however, Scotland have won each of the last three meetings. That run immediately followed a string of three consecutive Italian home victories.

- Italy have scored 20 points or more in each of their last three Guinness Six Nations home clashes with Scotland - as many 20- point tallies as they had managed in their previous seven home games against the Scots.

- This will be the ninth time in which the sides’ Guinness Six Nations meeting has taken place in round three of the competition. The sides are split - boasting four wins each, with neither side winning consecutively in this run.

COMMON STATISTICS

- Italy are scoring nearly three times as many points per opposition 22 entry than Scotland in this Guinness Six Nations campaign. Ranking third in terms of opposition 22 entries per match (7.5), Italy’s points return per entry is at 1.27, compared to just 0.46 points per Scottish breach thus far.

- Scotland have made metres on 58.3% of their carries in the Guinness Six Nations this season - which is 13.5% more success than the Italians have had at the gain line. This is despite the Italians carrying for almost 250 metres more per game in this season’s Championship.

- Scotland hold an edge over Italy in the tackling game, as Gregor Townsend’s charges are producing over a dominant tackle per eight total made tackles (13.0%) in the Guinness Six Nations so far. Italy are boasting just 8.1% of their tackles as dominant, as well as missing almost 10% of their total tackle attempts.

- Both Italy and Scotland have struggled to restrict opposition carries. Scotland have given up a tournament average of 6.1 metres per carry, which is the second-worst tally, just ahead of Italy, who ship 6.5 metres per opposition carry in the 2020 Guinness Six Nations.

- Italy hold a major advantage at the lineout, boasting a 91.7% win rate from the set piece, while Scotland’s 67.9% win rate from the lineout is the worst rate in the Championship. Conversely, Scotland have won every scrum they’ve contested, while only Wales (73.3%) hold a worse success rate at scrum time than the Italians (84.6%).

ITALY STATISTICS

- Italy have won just one of their last 32 Guinness Six Nations matches. However, that lone victory did come against Scotland back in February 2015.

- The 22 points scored by Italy in their previous fixture against France was their second-highest total since a 23-18 win over France back in February 2013. In fact, before the loss to France, the only occasions in which Italy totalled 20 points or more since February 14th, 2016, were against Scotland.

ITALY vs SCOTLAND GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

ITALY STATISTICS

- Italy have the quickest ruck speed in the entire Guinness Six Nations, as no team is quicker clearing their own rucks than the Italians who do so at an average speed of 2.91 seconds.

- No side have won a higher percentage of their opponents’ scrums in this Guinness Six Nations campaign than the Italians. Their 30% success rate against their opponent’s feed is the best mark in the entire Championship as the tournament average is just 12.7%.

- Matteo Minozzi has offloaded on eight separate occasions in the 2020 Guinness Six Nations - two more than any other player in the competition, as only France’s Antoine Dupont (6) has over half of Minozzi’s total thus far.

SCOTLAND STATISTICS

- Scotland are winless in their last six Guinness Six Nations matches. They hadn’t gone back-to-back games in the Six Nations without a win since February 2016 before this run, when they were finishing up a nine-game losing streak.

- Scotland have won just three of their last 23 away games in the Guinness Six Nations. However, each of those wins have come against Italy, including a 16-point winning margin in Rome in 2016 - their biggest away win in the competition since a 29-12 win over the Italians in 2002.

- Stuart Hogg’s four tackle breaks is the highest tally in the Guinness Six Nations, as only Italy’s Mattia Bellini (3) has over half that total to date in the 2020 Championship.

- Scotland are the only nation yet to score a try in the 2020 Guinness Six Nations; however, they do possess the best territorial advantage of all sides in the competition at 56.0%.

- The Scottish pack have been efficient in the tackle, completing 93.3% of their tackle attempts - the highest percentage in the 2020 Guinness Six Nations. They also boast the highest dominant tackle share (13%) and have allowed the fewest tackle breaks (4) in the competition thus far.
