Captain Stuart Hogg notched a memorable solo try as Scotland claimed their first win of the 2020 Six Nations against Italy in Rome.

The Exeter full-back produced a moment of individual brilliance in the first half of an attritional contest at the Stadio Olimpico, while further scores from Gloucester centre Chris Harris and fly-half Adam Hastings - still deputising for the absent Finn Russell - wrapped up a 17-0 triumph for Gregor Townsend's side.

While Scotland are now off the mark after opening defeats to Ireland and England, a second shut-out defeat in three matches for Italy extends their miserable run of consecutive Six Nations losses to 25.
