Wales rugby star Josh Adams is being praised for a ‘beautiful’ sporting gesture as he gave his Man of the Match medal to Italian full-back Ange Capuozzo following Italy’s 22-21 win at the Principality Stadium.
Adams had been named Man of the Match by BBC commentator Jonathan Davies having showcased a sensational break to put the hosts in front with just 12 minutes remaining. The offensive moment came after a dramatic try-saving tackle from the Lions winger to deny Monty Ioane in the corner.
However, Italian star Capuozzo produced a stunning break in the final play to set up winger Edoardo Padovani for the try to secure a shock 22-21 win for the Azzuri. Fly-half Paolo Garbisi kicked the winning conversion with the last act of the match to give Italy their first Six Nations victory in seven years after a difficult 36-game losing run.
