  • Last chance to impress

    Kieran Crowley's side will finish their campaign in Cardiff.

    They will be looking to build on today's performance and more importantly the tries they have scored.

  • Lightening strikes three times

    Before today's game The Azzurri hadn't scored a try for over four hours.

    Positive reaction by Italy and with their youth teams winning consistently you would hope we are seeing the evolution of their game.
