So, the dust has settled. That penalty should have been retaken. You are not allowed to charge/move when a kicker is taking a kick at goal. BUT we drew. With France, in France & was a kick away from winning. A performance built on heroic defence. A real moment for this side.

Just chuffed for him to be back playing again. First competitive game for almost two years tonight. Had a little chat with him about Italy and heโ€™s meeting with head coach Keiran Crowley tomorrow with a view to maybe being in and around the squad this Autumn. Forza Jake ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Turn that pink into blue Paolo! @notoriousPCO soon to be โ€œripping it upโ€ for the Azzurri! Cannot wait to see how he goes & pleased the Federation made the play to get him involved. #RWC2023 ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‰

Gutting doesnโ€™t cover it. @CrowleyKJ is the reason behind the incredible progression of Italian rugby in the last 12 months, building a squad & a style or rugby capable of competing with the best and now the Federation decide to part ways. Madness. A bad day for Italian rugby.

Feeling good about Saturday. That might end up being a bad thing to say but Italy, in Rome in front of a sell-out crowdโ€ฆ I sense something. Scotland are a fantastic team. But the pressure is on them a little to keep any sort of hope of winning the 6N alive. FORZA Italia ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

First half: werenโ€™t in the game. Looked a little confused and struggled to impose ourselves at all. Second half: much better. Aggressive, threatening and at times played the better rugby. Years gone by, weโ€™d have been thumped. Did ourselves justice 2H. Bravo Italia #ENGvITA ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Such a sad announcement. 27 is no age to retire but sometimes, you have to listen to your body. And heโ€™s had some awful luck with injuries. Wish him all the very best. ๐Ÿ‘Š

So Matteo Minozzi is retiring from rugby aged just 27. Has had some awful injuries during his career that had so much promise at one stage. 24 caps for his country, 11 tries. Club career included time with Calvisano, Zebre, Wasps & Benetton. Take it easy, Matteo. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Have to say, despite defeat how many chances did we have? So good in attack, line breaks, offloads. But just not converting and thatโ€™s what you HAVE to do at this level. This young side will learn and we are going in the right direction. But today stings. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น #ITAvWAL

Could not agree more. The commentary from ITV continues to downplay Italy. The narrative is either brilliant Ireland or poor Italyโ€ฆ it doesnโ€™t seem to work both ways. But itโ€™s no shock when there is ZERO Italian representation on either comms or punditry team.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นvsโ˜˜๏ธ Wow... what a game, nice to see us trying to take on Ireland and having some decent success in attack but we need to sure up our defence for sure. Shame about the @ITVRugby commentary though, disappointed with the disparaging of Italy.

At least 2 points in every game bar one (just 1 vs Ireland), four tries in every game we played and a positive points difference. So much to like about this U20 Italian side and so much exciting talent. So good for Italian rugby ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Very important that people do actually realise that Italy win very, very few games of rugby so all wins are massive for this young side. Thatโ€™s now two wins on the spin. Yes it was far from perfect against a tier 2 side but creating a run of wins is so massive. #ForzaItalia ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

It looks like both Marco Riccone & Tommaso Menoncello have picked up serious injuries. Which, unfortunately, outweigh any positives from this match. Paolo Odogwu has a concussion issue and Zuliani had to leave in the first-half. Rugby is a brutal game. Fingers crossed for all. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

I guess that seeing Italian rugby Twitter almost implode after a defeat that we shouldnโ€™t really have suffered shows the progress weโ€™re making. Be fair to judge our senior team tomorrow but our 20s have produced some brilliant performances this 6N. The youngsters will learn!

But fact remains, those who donโ€™t really know about Italian rugby still need to be proven wrong & really hope more than anything this year we continue to make people stand up and take notice of Italian rugby. Beating England would make my year. Nothing would top that ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Got some positive news on Riccioni. Apparently it is more of a bad twist than anything too serious. So hopefully it is a matter of weeks out and he can make the #RWC2023 Would hope for confirmation sooner rather than later.
