EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Scotland ran in six tries to overwhelm Italy 48-7 in a one-sided World Cup warm-up game at Murrayfield on Saturday. Wingers Sean Lamont and Tim Visser crossed the line twice each for the hosts, who looked far more convincing than they did in their 16-12 win over the Italians in Turin last week. Flanker John Barclay and centre Mark Bennett were the other Scottish try-scorers. Captain Greig Laidlaw, recalled to the side, slotted over two conversions and four penalties and Finn Russell kicked a late conversion for the Scots who led 23-7 at halftime. Centre Michele Campagnaro grabbed Italy's consolation try before the interval. (Reporting by Ed Osmond, editing by Clare Fallon)
