More than half an hour to go and Italy have almost cleared their bench completely. Lets see if these fresh legs can make an impact over the rest of the half.

Laidlaw gets Scotland on the board first in the second half with an easy kick right in front of the posts.

Half time here in Pretoria and its all even 20 a piece. Italy had the better start with a try in the first minute but it was then Scotland who took charge right through the middle and Italy evened off just before half time with a penalty try through a scrum infringement.

The 7 people in the crowd watching this game are very entertained.

Repeated scrummage collapse leads to an Italian penalty try, Castrogiavanni comes out on top once again.

A ring of errors in the Scottish defence thankfully ends without a score. Sarti is tackled by Peter Murchie in the corner, but he manages to send the ball onto Alberto Sgarbi about a metre from the line. He juggles the ball with Scottish players flailing around him ineffectually, before finally, a Scot smothers the ball almost under the posts to be safe

Italy were going nicely through their phases until Tim Swinson makes a great interception and the Warriors man went charging off down the field; unfortunately his pass to Johnnie Beattie is misplaced and knocked on, but promising signs there form Scotland.

The Italians are all over the place at the moment. Alberto Di Bernardo taps a quick penalty but none of his teammates are on the same page and a pass to Sergio Parisse misses and flops into touch.

Italy look rattled and concede a penalty for going in at the side. Greig Laidlaw slots pushing his side 7 points clear

Gianbattista Venditti tries to run the ball out from behind his own try-line. Greig Laidlaw forces him to spill the ball allowing Sean Lamont to cross the whitewash. Scotland back in front.
