Robinson rates Italy highly<\/p>\n

Andy Robinson says Scotland players must perform for a full 80 minutes against Italy if they are to avoid the Six Nations Wooden Spoon.<\/b><\/p>\n

“I’ve been really pleased with the attitude and the way we’ve been looking to improve our game,” said the coach. <\/p>\n

“But we haven’t been able to play for a whole 80 minutes. <\/p>\n

“Going into this game, it’s about an 80-minute performance, every element of our performance, every set-piece, it’s vital that we win it.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scotland have lost three of their last four Six Nations meetings with Italy, who will enter the match on a high following their 22-21 defeat of France in Rome last Saturday. <\/p>\n

The hosts enter the final match of the tournament seeking to avoid a first wooden spoon since 2007, when Italy secured their solitary Six Nations away win at Murrayfield. <\/p>\n

Scotland’s narrow, tight style that secured five wins in six Tests in 2010 – against Ireland, Argentina (twice), world champions South Africa and Samoa – has gone and been replaced by an expansive running game.<\/p>\n

\t\t\tIf we can do that, keep hold of the ball and keep our composure, I have total belief in the team<\/b>

<\/p>\n

But the lineout was under particular pressure at Twickenham and Robinson has demanded an improvement against a powerful Azzurri side. <\/p>\n

“We’ve been severely punished for the mistakes that we’ve made and we’ve made a lot of errors inside our third,” he said. <\/p>\n

“The Italians are a very good side. They’ve performed well in every game of this championship bar the England game. <\/p>\n

“We’ve got to focus on ourselves. It’s about putting the Italians under pressure when we’re attacking. <\/p>\n

“If we can do that, keep hold of the ball and keep our composure, I have total belief in the team.” <\/p>\n

Scotland captain Alastair Kellock has recovered from a foot injury in time to lead the team out and is determined to end a disappointing campaign on a high note. <\/p>\n

“It’s a massive game for us, we know that,” said the Glasgow Warriors lock. <\/p>\n

“We’ve got to take positives from the England game and use the momentum we’ve got – even though we were beaten – to push for a top performance that it will take to beat the Italians, especially on the back of the win they’ve just had.” <\/p>\n

A late Max Evans try brought Scotland within a converted score of England at Twickenham and Kellock has taken heart from what was a gutsy display. <\/p>\n

“We had a real chance of winning that game; everybody realises how special it would’ve been had we done so,” he added. <\/p>\n

“We’ve got to look at the things we did well, take them on board and push to get a performance this week. <\/p>\n

“Over the last few games, our line-out has gone well and it didn’t function anywhere near where it needed to. We’ve got a lot to work on.”\n<\/p>\n
