Scotland slumped to a 25-17 defeat by Italy in their Women's Six Nations match in Edinburgh.
Chloe Rollie's try had put Scotland - well beaten by France in their last outing - ahead in the 13th minute, the full-back barging over following a lineout maul, with Helen Nelson converting the extras.
Italy, though, responded strongly with tries from Francesca Sgorbini and Aura Muzzo to take a 10-7 lead into half-time.
Scotland reduced the gap soon after the restart when Evie Gallagher went over, but tries from Vittoria Ostuni Minuzzi and then Alyssa D'Inca - when the hosts were a player down after Lisa Thomson had been sent to the sin bin for a high tackle - took the game away.
Francesca McGhie touched down with seven minutes left to give Scotland - who next take on title hopefuls England - a glimmer of hope, but Muzzo's second try of the match put the seal on Italy's first victory of the campaign.
