That it for today folks from us here in Rome. I had my hopes up when the Italians got the first points in the game and they looked promising, however the Australians although started slowly never took their foot off the pedal and in the end managed to clock up a fascinating 50 points and 7 tries. A nice win for the Visitors and a boost in their confidence after a poor beginning to their campaign. Plenty of ore coverage this weekend of all the Internationals, make sure to check in later one. From all of us here at UR, have a nice weekend :)
They made it! Substitute Flyhalf manages to breach the defence after 18 phases and get a consolation try just as the game is coming to an end. He fails to add the extras
They are denied a try by the TMO and are set for a 5 metre scrum
5 minutes left on the clock and the Italians are desperate to get one last score. They put tougher numerous phases inside the aussie 22
Not surprisingly, Australian Winger Nick Cummins has been awarded the Man of the Match Award.

We haven't heard much of Folau so far in this game however he has managed to get his name on the board 68 minutes in. A lovely inside pass allows him to add 5 more points and 2 more through the beautiful conversion by Leali'ifano. Italy have fallen asleep!

Tomane. Having just entered the field in place of Adam Ashley-Cooper has open space on the wing and darts his way 60 metres and scores the try in the corner. The visitors are running away with it and just 10 minutes left on the clock.
