First victory for the Italrugby at 6 nations

An orderly, but not very brilliant Italy conquered the first victory at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. In front of 60 thousand spectators and in a constant rain, the Azzurri of CT Gonzalo Quesada redeemed the defeat in Scotland at the debut and repeated the victory in Cardiff last year. For the dragons of Warren Gatland, humiliated in France on the first day, It is the fourteenth consecutive defeat with the spectrum of the wooden spoon. The Azzurri, on the other hand, replied the success of a year ago in Cardiff: never in history Italy had won two matches in a row with Wales. In the sixth minute a Welsh offside allows Tommy Allan to go for the posts and unlock the result.

After Ben Thomas’ draw on the placed for the foul in Ruck of the Azzurri at the 20th the first turning point: the Azzurri dominate a fray and Paolo Garbisi with a fake jump an opponent and kicks a grubber in the destination area with Ange Capuozzo who manages to crush . Then Allan transforms from very angular position. Always Allan transforms to 29th (held on Lorenzo Cannone) He earns a seal at the height of 10 meters and 33mo bringing Italy to rest on 16-3. In the recovery, the blues do not take advantage of the Welsh difficulties: between the 52m and the 54th he enters two punishments and at 59th he slams the 50-meter football on the crossbar attempted by Page-Reallo.

Immediately after the dragons forgive Josh Adams, warned because in the attempt to tackle he goes straight on Garbisi’s head. Italy, however, limits a punishment transformed to 61mo by Allan and 69th it collects the half: Touche at 5 meters, Maul who advances and dive into the destination of Aaron Wainwright. Fortunately, the Azzurri’s transformation ends up on the pole. At 74, another punishment for Italy and Allan returns to the center for the 22-8. Wales returns, however, does not surrender: yellow for Marco Riccioni and the following touche, another infringement and the technical destination and another yellow for Dino Lamb arrive. Wales also has the last possession to look for the tie, but the estate conquered by Manuel Zuliani ensures a success as precious as it is suffered.
