CHRIS HARRIS suffered calamity in Cardiff on his Six Nations debut — now the Scotland centre is seeking atonement against the Azzurri.

The Newcastle midfielder lasted just 54 minutes on his first and only championship start to date 12 months ago as he stumbled through the Dark Blues’ shambolic opener against Wales at the Millennium Stadium.

A fateful knock-on just as the Scots appeared set to hit back after a disastrous start was bad enough for the 28-year-old, but a number of lapses in defence ensured it was a day to forget.
