It's all or nothing for Scotland as they take on Italy in St Etienne with a place in the World Cup quarter-finals on offer for the winners.

Scotland coach Frank Hadden rested 13 players for last week's 40-0 mauling by New Zealand, but has named his strongest side for the Pool C eliminator.

The Italians have never made it into the quarter-finals of the World Cup but are hoping to do it at the sixth time of asking.

But they will be without captain Marco Bortolami, who misses out with hamstring and neck problems.

Last time the sides met in this year's Six Nations, the Italians came away with a 37-17 win at Murrayfield.

This afternoon Wales v Fiji was also a 'winner stays in, loser goes out' game, and look how that turned out. More drama like that and few spectators would be left complaining.
