How to watch Italy v Scotland online: 6 nations rugby live stream

The final round of the 6 Nations 2018 kicks off today as Italy take on Scotland

What many people expected would be the battle for the wooden spoon has taken on a bit of extra significance, at least for Scottish fans, as they look to end the 2018 tournament on a positive note.

Victory in Rome would equal last year's record of three victories, following the triumphs over England and France, and Gregor Townsend makes five changes to his starting line-up following the defeat against Ireland last weekend.

Nick Grigg comes in at centre, with Tommy Seymour also returning on the wing, as Fraser Brown, WP Nel and Tim Swinson all return to the pack.

Italy are rooted to the bottom of the table, but will be looking to spring a shock and record their first 6 nations victory since beating Scotland in 2015.

The home side make only one change, as Jake Polledri comes in at flanker to replace Maxime Mbanda, as Conor O'Shea's men look to put in a strong performance in front of what will no doubt be a sell-out crowd.
