Louis Lynagh scored a try on debut as Italy overturned a first-half deficit to beat Scotland for their first Six Nations home win in 11 years in Rome on Saturday.
The Azzurri clawed back from six points behind at half time at the Stadio Olimpico to win 31-29, ending the Scots’ championship title hopes and handing Ireland the chance to win the championship with a match to spare.
Ireland will claim a second straight title if they defeat England later on Saturday thanks to the Italians winning a breathless match in which Juan Ignacio Brex and Stephen Varney also crossed the whitewash.
