Six U20 nations, Fasti is wrong in the end of the victory. The Azzurrini throw away a first half dominated and fall into Treviso 20-18
A few centimeters: those who intercount between the oval kicked by Roberto Fasti and the poles of the Monigo stadium in Treviso, where Wales exceeds Italy after a strange game full of opportunities wasted by the Azzurrini. The Santamaria team starts better, it takes the lead but wasted several times the blow of the KO, allowing Wales to return underneath and to even take the lead after 20 minutes of Italian domination. The recovery is pure battle: a few points and many barrels in the middle of the field. At 70 ‘Ford reports Wales to the advantage of 2 points, but in the past time Fasti sends the football to the side that would have given Italy the second success in a row. A mockery.
Italy wasted
–
Mindful of the errors made against Scotland, the Azzurrini start with the foot at the tablet: Opoku ends the ball from the hands of Emanuel and conquers the first punishment football of the match, Fasti is precise and signs the 3-0. In this phase, Italy is totally mistress of the match but wastes at least three important occasions in the first 15 minutes: twice the Welsh defense wins the blue maul, and then glories there is no planted not impossible. Wales, however, never exceeds the middle of the field, holds in defense until he can but at 16 ‘yields: splendid Pietramala football that cuts the field from one side to the other and finds Ducros on the left, which anticipates Boshoff and crushes for 8 -0. Despite the difficulties, Wales shows off the usual cynicism, enters for the first time in the 22 Italians at 24 ‘and comes out with 5 points in the pocket: Tom Bowen scores after a beautiful change of direction that seats Pietramala. At this level, the wasted occasions are paid, Wales trusted and in half an hour it even takes the lead with Harry Thomas, who finalizes another advanced maul, the best weapon of guests. In the most difficult moment Italy finds itself, courageously renounces 3 easy points, looking for the destination and finds it with Nelson Casartelli who of force crushes in the middle of the posts for the 15-10 with which the first half closes.
Mockery

In the second half Wales starts better, Thomas arrives at the bottom again after an advanced Maul but Miranda is amazing to put a hand and prevent the Welsh heaters from Poaching. At 49 ‘, however, the powerful Welsh drive makes the difference again and this time there is no hand that holds: the advancement is constant and Thomas marks the destination of 15-17, with Ford transforms for the advantage. Fasti responds with the placed of the counter -strip, then the match turns into a Russian mountain: many barrels, few prolonged actions and many errors due to the increasingly increasing pressure. At 70 ‘Milan combines the omelette, he commits a useless foul by diving into the grouping and gives Wales the placed of the 18-20, marked by Ford. Italy goes to the ball, begins to make mistakes elementary balls and struggles to find the square against a Welsh defense that at this point seems mistress of the match. The alarm clock arrives 2 minutes from the end from Faissal, which slightly does not find a sensational destination after a half -footed intercept. The Azzurrini continue – albeit disorderly – to push and expired time they earn a small punishment kick. In the silence of Monigo Fasti, the poles lack very little: it ends like this, with Wales that passes 20-18 and Italy that must be satisfied with a bonus point, very thin consolation.
