Some really exciting players across the board too, Opoku-Gyamfi imperious, Casarin industrial, Andretti such a complete 9 just to name a couple.

Great crop this year, now onto the age old issue of how we can better assist them taking the next step.

Forza 🇮🇹

🇮🇹 43 - 19 🇬🇪

Azzurrini putting up 43 points in the first half, playing a great brand.

Italy u20's player Jaheim Wilson could be some good business for a Prem team willing to take a punt.

Aggressive, powerful & busy - would develop incredibly well under the right conditions.

[EK Rugby Analysis @ek_rugby]

Menoncello is such a beast of a centre!

Great interplay between himself and Malik Faissal to score this try for Italy.

FT THOUGHTS - Japan 27 - Italy 10

Japan thoroughly deserve their win, Italy with plenty of work to do against New Zealand and Australia. We need to be much much better in the next couple of weeks.

Well done Japan, better across the board! 👏🏼👏🏼
