Autumn Nations Series | Highlights: Italy v Australia

by Charlie Bennett

Ange Capuozzo scored two tries as Italy claimed an historic 28-27 win over Australia in Florence thanks to a last-gasp missed conversion.

Cadeyrn Neville gave debutant Ben Donaldson the chance to win the game with the final kick, but the replacement fly-half pushed his effort to the right of the posts.

It was cruel on Donaldson, but no more than Italy deserved after a brilliant display, claiming their first-ever win over the Wallabies at the 19th attempt.

Australia, meanwhile, have seen every game of this Autumn Nations Series decided by a single point, coming out on the right side against Scotland before successive one-point losses to France and Italy.
