Italy u20 have been playing the game of their lives this evening against Ireland in the 2024 u20 Six Nations.
Leading Ireland 22 – 18 with just over five minutes to play, the junior Azzurri have been dominant at times, particularly in the scrum, where they have routinely blown Ireland off the ball.
Head and shoulders above the rest has been winger Marco Scalabrin, who has scored two tries whilst also chasing down a certain Ireland intercept try.

While these moments would routinely be enough to bag a Player of the Match award, Scalabrin has gone one further by setting up Italy’s third try with an out-of-this-world offload.
