What did he do?
Game is in the last few seconds, Scotland lead by 1 point, Italy have the ball and are tackled to form a ruck on the Scots' 10m, Kinghorn piles through the Ruck and wipes out the Italian scrum-half. Penalty Italy. Fortunately, they decided to punt it down the line for the line out and the defence held.
Im not suggesting this is what happened but do you not think that it may well have been strategy, get them at edge of the range and then either force a long kick or a lineout, the italian lineout was a disaster at the end

I wouldn't rule it out, but it was a pretty risky strategy if it was. why not just hold them back at the 10m rather than potentially facing a rolling maul 5m out?

Another try for the good guys

The welsh try was an interception but they were on our line just before and conceeded a soft penalty

Java by my reckoning that's 3 tries you've posted... Twitter reckons it's 14-12 to Scot... Maybe I should stick to the twitter updates ;)

Could Edinburgh not poach Conor Eastgate from Wasps? He's behind Gopperth and Cips... a lot harder to break into that team than one that contains Tovey and Weir!
