This match has effectively become the battle for "the Wooden Spoon" as the Six Nations' bottom two teams face off against one another in the Stadio Olimpico. 

Italy host a dogged Scotland team that has lost its first two matches against Wales and England. The Italians will feel they can compete with this Scottish team, even though they were recently soundly beaten by France in Paris.

Neither team can have any serious hopes of discernible success this year, so the match represents for both teams their best opportunity to taste some glory in 2014.

 

When: Saturday, Feb. 22, at 1:30 p.m GMT/8:30 a.m. ET

Where: Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy. 

TV Info: Live on Live on BBC One and HD

Who will get the Wooden Spoon in 2014?

As the current table shows, both teams have performed poorly, Italy conceding 53 points in their two games and Scotland haemorrhaging a disappointing 48 points.

The Italians lead the Scots by way of points difference. Scotland have only managed to score a paltry six points during the tournament.

Neither nation wants the indignation of earning the title of this year's worst team, but there is very little to choose between the sides. They are both miles behind the other four nations in terms of quality and match-winning ability. 

Here is the current table, which highlights both countries' plight:

 



 

Are Italy favourites to beat Scotland?

On paper it would appear that the Italians are in pole position for the victory in the match, with Scotland's statistics being so poor and the home team in their very own Roman fortress. However, Italy did concede heavily against their opponents in their last encounter.
