The fourth round of Six Nations 2024 action is about to kick off in Rome. Here's how to watch an Italy v Scotland live stream
There’s just minutes to go until you can watch an Italy v Scotland live stream this afternoon. Italy came close to their first ever Six Nations victory in France last time out, but will surely be buoyed by their impressive draw in Lille. The question is, can they stop a rampant Scottish team who’d have a 100% record were it not for a controversial last-minute refereeing decision against Les Bleus?
You can watch the game for free in on ITVX in the UK and Virgin Media Player in Ireland. If you’re away from your home country today, you can use a VPN to watch your usual TV service for free from abroad.

Italy v Scotland predictions
So who will win at the Stadio Olimpico this afternoon? Rugby World’s predictions are split, with Andy Wright predicting a comfortable 13-point win for Scotland, and deputy editor Josh Graham suggesting a narrow Azzurri victory might be on the cards. “It’s time,” he says. “The Azzurri have waited long enough (11 years to be precise) for a win in the capital and the Roman faithful are well overdue a result. So close to stunning France in Lille last time out, perhaps former England hopeful Louis Lynagh can help get them over the line on his international debut.”
