The Italy captain Michele Lamaro speaks to the BBC: “It’s been a tough game. First half we didn’t play the game we wanted to. But we stayed in the moment … [first half] we knew we didn’t play as well as we could … stepping back into the second half, we wanted to show something, and I think we did for a few moments. We weren’t able to perform in attack today, and I think that cost us a lot.
“I think they put us a lot under pressure in the breakdown … they were honestly brilliant there, and we weren’t able to solve that problem … we couldn’t play the game we wanted to play with quick ball.
“Wales is a huge game for us, a huge game for them … we’ve got one day to recover the best we can, then straight into [preparation for] the Wales game … we’ll prepare as this one, but we know we need to be better.”
