Italy finally ended their despairing wait for a Six Nations win by dramatically beating Wales 22-21 in Cardiff.
The Azzuri kicked off at the Principality Stadium having lost their last 36 games in the Championship, but trailing 21-15 in the final minute, Edoardo Padovani touched down under the posts before Paolo Garbisi added the conversion with the last act of the match. The score was set up by a scintillating counter attack from full-back Ange Capuozzo, who broke from deep before slipping the inside pass to his teammate.
The jubilant scenes afterwards signified a team who haven't tasted a win in the tournament since beating Scotland in 2015, and compounded a fall from grace for their hosts having been crowned champions in 2021. But in truth, the result was no less than the visitors deserved.
