ROME (Reuters) - Scotland coach Gregor Townsend was pleased with his team’s 33-22 Six Nations victory over Italy in Rome on Saturday, though admitted a repeat of their poor finish to the game would see them punished by better teams.

Scotland scored five tries in a helter-skelter contest at the Stadio Olimpico, but also allowed Italy to cross for three, the home side having managed only one try in the entire Six Nations before this game.
