Both nations arrive having gone 2-2 in the Autumn Nations Series: Italy earned wins over Australia and Chile, while Scotland beat the United States and Tonga. The teams’ recent form in autumn competition adds context but not certainty to what should be a tightly contested Six Nations meeting in Rome.
The rivalry has tilted toward Scotland recently; the Scots have won four of the last five meetings, including a 31-19 victory in last year’s Six Nations. Italy’s most recent home victory over Scotland came in Rome in 2024, a 31-29 win that remains a defining moment ahead of Saturday’s match.
