Gonzalo Quesada’s Italian rugby team triumphed in Rome after 11 years

In the Six Nations, the Argentine-led Azzurri beat Scotland 31-29 at the Olympic Stadium, a fortress that has been incredibly difficult for them to take.

The Italian rugby team broke this Saturday, at the hands of an Argentine, the curse that seems to haunt him at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, where the Azzurri haven’t won in 11 yearsafter winning this Saturday of 31-29 in Scotland, who lost any chance of winning at Six Nations. After putting England on the ropes (24-27) on the first day and approaching victory two weeks ago in Lille after drawing (13-13) with France in a clash where the post, which dislodged Paolo’s last kick that Garbisi, prevented the Italian victory, Gonzalo Quesada’s men finally tasted victory.

A feat few will know when there are 13 minutes left At the end of the first half, Scotland was on the scoreboard with a 12 point lead (10-22) with a try from Pierre Schoeman. But this Italy doesn’t look like the team that it is They have won just one game, against Wales in Cardiff in March 2022, in the last seven editions of the tournament. Paolo Garbisi and Martin Page-Relo made it clear that, with two penalties, the disadvantage of the home team was split (16-22).

A comeback attempt seemed to have come to naught after seeing how George Horne scored the fourth try for the Cardo XV just after the start of the second half, in a game that was called off due to an obstruction. Italy then responded with two tries from Louis Lynaghson of legendary Australian Michael Lynagh, and Stephen Varney which established a score of 28-22 for the Italians.

Garbisi reached 31 points with penalties, but within two minutesScotland struck again with a try from Sam Skinner and the subsequent conversion from Finn Russell. But the visitor’s reaction remained there despite their attempts against a strong defense that finally preserved the victory.
