I know nothing of this sport
But I’ll watch anything with *true* sportsmanship in it
Respect
If you wave your hands in the air it isn’t obstruction
A true winner shares his victory with his opponent, for without them there would have been no fight.
At the end of the day it’s just men playing games. The real heroes are the ones with the biggest hearts.
Those three red guys in the front on the return were tired or thought the game was over or what
What happened? They gave man of the match before
The match ended?
Italy went from 21-15 to 21-20, that’s does not look a matchwinning try to me? The other 2 points are the matchwinning points.
Capuozzo didn’t score the try, he made the break.
Still a wonderful display of sportsmanship and a reminder that it’s not over until the final whistle.

Really pleased for Italy. They put everything into this game and deserved the win. Lackluster performance by Wales who couldn’t get out of 2nd gear – except for Adams try, and his preventing another Italian try earlier in the game. Class move on his part. 👏
It’s more accurate to say that Adams offered it to Capuozzo, but he declined and told him he should keep it — 1:02 in the video.
Why does he continue to run once in the “end zone” (I don’t know if it’s called something else)?
Edit: thank you all for helping me understand.
As a rugby fan watching with 2 non sports fans, this was superb, telling them they are watching history in the making. The reaction once the winning kick went in was brilliant, being the whipping boys and winning after 7 years meant so much to them and their fans.
Football, a gentlemen sport played by thugs. Rugby, a thugs game played by gentlemen.
Pretty pretty pretty pretty good.
Class
wow … just amazing
Looks like Italy might have gotten a little lucky there that they weren’t held up for an obstruction early in the run.
Looks like Wales number 8 might have had a shot at a tackle if the Italian (number 7??) wasn’t in the way
Capuozzo looks so young! Well done by the lad.
The song is Nessun Dorma, if you care to know.

Why did Wales kick the ball away instead of running down the clock
Glad you enjoyed my video!
People who don’t watch rugby need to understand how big of a win this is.
Italy haven’t won a match in the 6 Nations (this tournament) since 2015. They’ve been the whipping boys of Tier 1 rugby for much longer than that. That, plus the fact that they’ve shown how much they’ve developed as a side this tournament makes this so much more of a deserved win.
Also, Capuozzo is the fastest U12 player on the planet.
Great try, happy for Italy to get a win. Commisserations to Wales. Looked like a good game.
I don’t know shit about rugby, but that’s what sport is about.
That is fuckin sportsmanship.
