TNT Sports / YouTube Argentina 50-18 Italy ARGENTINA NOTCHED UP a ninth successive victory over Italy with a convincing 50-18 win in Udine to kick off their November international campaign.
The most recent home Italian win over Los Pumas was in 1998 and that never looked like being matched as defensive frailties were exposed throughout the 80 minutes.Italy then suffered a blow just minutes later when star full-back Ange Capuozzo left the field after a heavy blow to the head that left the Toulouse player floored.
Gonzalo Betranou crossed for Argentina’s second try after Rodrigo Isgro soared to claim an up-and-under, the ball worked back to Juan Martin Gonzalez whose pass was knocked back by Italy’s Paolo Garbisi into the path of the scrum-half. Prop Mirco Spagnolo was harshly denied a try by Carley, but Tommaso Allan kicked a penalty to leave it 17-10 after the opening 40 minutes.
