Tommaso Menoncello dotted down late for Italy, with Paolo Garbisi kicking a six further points in a valiant performance. Instead it was the sloppy away side who dotted down the first try of the evening four minutes later through Roigard, who simply strolled through the centre of Italy’s defence for an easily converted score under the posts.
That try took Jordan up to 38 in international rugby and past All Blacks icon Jonah Lomu, as well as giving the away side a 17-6 half-time lead.
