Italy at the Rugby World Cup, interview with Ange Capuozzo

Tomorrow starts: for the Azzurri on Saturday there is Namibia, then Urugauay, All Blacks and France. The most awaited: “We will have to have a lot of patience”

GThe eyes of the world are on France: tomorrow, at the Stade de France in Paris, with the hosts challenging the All Blacks, the tenth oval World Cup begins. Until the final on October 28th, 48 matches in 51 days and 9 cities are scheduled. The event, less than 11 months before the Olympics, is universal. Yesterday, when the starting lineups for the opening match were announced, the news that Moefana and Lienert-Brown will replace the injured Danty and Jordie Barrett at first center immediately went around the world. In the same group as the two super powers, there is Italy, making its debut on Saturday in Saint Etienne against Namibia. And in Italy there is a player who has the spotlight on him: Ange Capuozzo. The 24-year-old fullback/winger appreciated at every latitude was born and raised in Grenoble: Bourgoin, home of the Italian team from Sunday and throughout the tournament, is 60 kilometers away.
