She watched Scotland triumph with a 17-0 win over Italy as Italy failed to score for the second time this month, and its record losing streak in the championship grew to 25 tests.

Scotland’s first try was worth waiting for; a solo 50-meter counterattack by captain and fullback Stuart Hogg, who exorcized some demons after he made pivotal mistakes in the opening losses to Ireland and England.
After halftime of the scrappy match in perfect conditions, fellow backs Chris Harris and Adam Hastings also dotted down. Hastings converted his own try, his only successful kick from four attempts.
The Scots also missed at least three other try chances – one of them disallowed for a forward pass – as they ended a six-match winless run in the championship and lifted some pressure on coach Gregor Townsend, who was retained after a dismal Rugby World Cup campaign last year.
