Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 18 - Italy lost their final game of the 2023 Six Nations 26-14 in Scotland on Saturday to finish the tournament winless.
    The Azzurri were 19-6 down deep into the second half, but looked like they might be about to pull off a stunning comeback when Tommaso Allan scored a counterattack try and Paolo Garbisi scored a penalty to put them within five points of the Scots.
    They were banging hard on the hosts' try line in the closing stages, but then knocked on, and Blair Kinghorn scored a sensational try from the ensuing scrum deep in the Scots own territory to complete his hat-trick.
    It is the 18th time that Italy have finished last and picked up the wooden-spoon booby prize out of 24 seasons in the Six Nations. (ANSA).
