Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of tonight’s World Cup Pool C clash between Italy and Russia.

Russia spill the ball and Barnes blows for full-time. Russia have been competitive and shown impressive tackling in particular as Italian handling errors cost them slightly

Russia make the interception but it's in their own half and they will struggle to get their fourth, bonus-point winning try from here

Yet another missed kick by Italy. It's been a poor kicking display by the Italians today

TRY ITALY! 53-17! Substitute Zanni is the man who eventually crosses over for Italy but it was only a matter of time really as they were lining up to receive the ball from the back of the scrum

Italy push for their half century of points as first Benvenuti and then McLean take the Russian back line on ... Italy get a scrum five ...

Rachkov again misses the conversion but Russia will be looking for a fourth bonus point-winning try in the final eight minutes of this match

TRY RUSSIA! 48-17! Alexei Makovetsky gets in on the act! Russia create a huge overlap on the left wing which Shakirov spots, putting up a huge looping pass that creates the try

Russia kick upfield before turning the ball over deep in Italian territory, just 10m short of the line ...

Russia have an attacking lineout and look for the drive but its a poor lineout and Italy steal the ball before attempting a breakaway. Russia pull them back but they have been pushed back into their own half

Benvenuti misses his second kick at the posts but it won't matter to the outcome of this match. It must be a bit of a worry for Nick Mallett though that both his go-to kickers have not fired at all today

TRY ITALY! 48-12! Luke McLean, who qualifies through his Italian grandmother, takes on the ball before sprinting away down the left wing and touching down with ease.

Castrogiovanni makes a run before being brought down but not before offloading. Italy retain possession and recycle the ball wide but the 5'4" Alexander Shakirov brings down a man almost twice his side and draws the penalty as Italy fail to release!

A couple of changes for Italy as Gori and skipper Parisse come off

Like Benvenuti just a couple of minutes ago, Rachkov pulls his kick just wide of the left upright and Russia will have to be contend without the conversion

TRY RUSSIA! 43-12! Great try from Russia as they create the overlap on the right wing, spreading the ball out wide from the re-start before Ostroushko takes it on and runs past two Italians to touch down. Fantastic work from Russia

Benvenuti takes over kicking duties from Bocchino but he's fare much better as he also pulls his conversion kick wide, thumping it almost out of the ground in the process!

TRY ITALY! 43-7! Benvenuti just gets his second try of the night kicking through the Russian defence before racing after it. He dives to the ground with two arms out before realising he won't get it like that and instead stretching out one arm and just touching the ball before both he and it skid out beyond the dead ball line

Ongaro is not going to come back on even though his time in the bin is now over, being replaced by Zanni

Russia on the attack again as they use the final few moments of Ongaro's sinbinning. Yanyushkin breaks through and gets his side to within 10 metres but again offside lets them down - Grachev running into Vladislav Korshunov and Adam Byrnes

Russia get a little unlucky as a poor pass from Yanyushkin bounces off the shins of one of his team-mates and goes forward, creating an accidental offside for the guy outside him. Italy will have a scrum in Russian territory
