A good chase makes a decent Kelly Haimona kick a very good one. McLean makes is tackle deep inside the Argentina 22. The home side are quick to support and force a penalty. But Haimona can't convert the more difficult kick

Haimona, the New Zealand born, flyhalf nails his first attempt of the evening from in front of the posts

Italy attempted to put some phases together in attack but a quick line speed from Argentina drive them back. But Joubert brings us back for a penalty to Italy after Ayerza was caught offside

Argentina gather the restart and clear they're lines. Italy now on the attack from deep inside their half

With Joubert in charge, Haimona gets us underway!

After two very passionate anthems we are all set for kick off here in Genoa!

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the 2014 November Internationals. With weather warnings in Genoa this fixture has been brought forward 24hrs to avoid any potential catastrophes.
Italy are without a win in their last 4 meetings with Argentina but following an impressive display against Samoa last week hopes are high in Italy. The Rugby Championship appears to have taken it's tole on Los Pumas as several key players are rotated out of this evenings starting XV.
Italy welcome back Martin Castrogiovanni who, they hope, will combat a powerful Argentine scrum.
The forecast isn't great for this one but let's hope the rain stays off so we can see both sides play some progressive rugby!
KO coming up momentarily.

Formazione azzurra molto buona, scontento solo sul cambio di ruolo di Luke McLean

lamentable
