I’m expecting a pretty tight game.
Italy have an Argentine like ability to stop their opposition playing.
My bias says Aus is favourite, probably because I am familiar with their players, but the above means they'll do it tough.

15 Ange Capuozzo (Toulouse, 28 caps)
Only 28? Italy don't play many tests?
5 matches in the 6N

2-3 mid year
Maybe only 3 in November?
He had a big injury break I think

Four seasons of internationals, 5, 5, 11 and 7 matches respectively.

Italy have started strong. Up 6-0

Oz hit back with a maul try, even though I thought the lineout throw was not straight (and there was a half jump by the Italian lock).
Italy lead 6-5 after the conversion was missed.

That’s about as screwed up as it gets , despite the strip the ball goes forward out of Wilson’s hands but the referee sees no knock on ..
Am I missing something.? -

Am I missing something.?I was surprised by that one. Italy goes for the strip, doesn't quite get it, then Wilson knocks on. Though it was clear and would be a quick overturn by TMO, but ref was adamant.
Also nice to see the Italians heads not to go down after that one.
2 minutes to go and up 7!
