Berbizier has made plenty of progress in his first year with Italy
|
Coach Pierre Berbizier was disappointed not to have recorded Italy's first victory of the 2006 Six Nations after a tense 13-10 defeat to Scotland in Rome.
Winger Chris Paterson snatched victory with a penalty three minutes from time, condemning the home side to the Wooden Spoon for yet another year.
"The last moment of the game is the perfect example that we have a long way to go," said Berbizier.
"We will need to work hard if we are to take a step up in class."
Despite the disappointment of defeat, former France scrum-half Berbizier said he was delighted with his first season in charge of Italy.
"We can take many positives from the tournament and I feel that the Italian public are enjoying our performances," he said.
