HIGHLIGHTS | 🇮🇹 ITALY V ENGLAND 🏴 | 2024 GUINNESS MEN'S SIX NATIONS
Well in an ever-changing world we all need something to rely on and in sport one of those
is rugby's greatest championship. Manoncello another player's really impressed for his club
this season. There's a penalty advantage now being played to Italy. England coming offside.
Italian record in the championship as well. So Damaso Allen straight through the sweet spot.
The Azzurri lead. There's too much real estate to deal with on the far side there.
Ball being presented by the captain Lamoureux. Nacho-Prax releases it now there's a real chance.
Canoni and on there to Bessie and that is the first try of the match. The referee said the ball
went forward off the knee. Ford once more. Elliot Daly getting into the line. He's a man with a
licence to roam today. Sam Underhill. That time it was Ben Earl. Earl one of the England success
stories from the World Cup. Referee's playing an advantage here to England. Off the cushion from
Ford. A Maori tattoo all the way down his back. Wearing a red rose on his chest. Oh a breakthrough
and this is superb from Freeman and Freeman off loads to Daly and Daly gets the try.
From England. Freeman coming off his wing. Giving an option. He may not receive that ball. He did
receive it and then he's just distributed. Nakedy taking it into the contact. There's
part of Garbisi. Breaks again. He's got wonderful hands. Now there's space and there are men and here
goes Menoncelo. Inside is wonderful. Quite brilliant rugby and it's Damaso Allen who gets the score.
Italy on defensive duties. Madhu Ratojian within a metre and a half. Mitchell just getting pushed
out of the way. Will Stewart wants to have a go and the ball's gone forward and Italy survive
however. A few months of his time with the England setup and towards Ford. No problems that time.
Narrowing the deficit to just six points. A second England career if you like for him after being
dropped at the end of the last six nations. Not taken to the World Cup. Nine of this England 23 have
no involvement in France. Mitchell off the outside of his left foot there. Referee though playing an
advantage. Flirting a little bit with that right hand upright but it's now three from four.
England now within 12 metres or so. Mitchell chooses to work the short side. Sees a chance.
Sees a gap. He's still going is Mitchell. Mitchell has he got there. The referee says he has.
We have a 6-2 split on the bench but we need four alterations there now and George Ford
adds another three and it's starting to look a little more comfortable now for England.
24 points to 17. Another 10 point game. Two scores. Italy with a need. England's blood pressure can
just drop a little bit. The pulse rate too. They have a gap now of 10 points.
Nacho Brex. Ioane. A tackle there from the player of the match but Ioane's still going and Ioane's on.
Against England will now go to 31. Othalo Garbisi slots the conversion.
The referee blows his whistle for the end of the match.
