Scotland started their Six Nations campaign with a 31-19 win over Italy on Saturday.

Scroll down to the comments section for our blog of this game as the hosts prevailed.

A Huw Jones hat-trick proved decisive while Rory Darge and Ben White also crossed.

The bonus-point victory, while not pretty at times, hands Scotland the five-point haul.

Next Sunday they will play host to Ireland while Italy are at home to Wales on Saturday.
