Well done Italy. No shame for Uruguay, Italy has been playing T1 rugby for decades and the difference showed at the end.

Re: Baby Boks

Just watched the highlights but seems it was a nice contest under the rain. Always tough games against the baby boks.

The real highlight is the boys playing some rugby after these long months.
