We are Wales now. After the historic victory of the senior national team yesterday in Cardiff for 22-21, the first that Italy has managed to obtain away from the Dragons in history, there is also the 27-20 success of the Italian under 20 in Calwyn Bay, which confirms the revelation of the tournament. Massimo Brunello’s boys this year have won three matches out of five, yielding only to France and Ireland and clearly beating England, Scotland and Wales – albeit with the thriller of a 14-0 run collected between 50 ‘and ’70 for a dangerous drop in concentration that risked reopening the game.
The best season ever in the Six Nations category, with a virtual third place that Italy can only lose if England draws or wins in France tonight.
A team of young all stars, from Capitan Ferrari to Vaccari, from Garbisi jr (two goals today) to Fusari, from Pani to Mey, to Cenedese, which bodes well for high-level replacement and in which Riccardo Genovese from Turin stands out . Born in 2002 in Turin, the blue right prop grew up in Cus Torino and joined the Zebre academy, and even against Wales he confirmed his impressive qualities. Rocky in the scrum and in the groupings, Genovese is very mobile, fast and even very polite with his foot in the open field, as he demonstrated yesterday with a couple of three-quarter ‘breaks’. In reality, even if it seems strange to imagine it, Genovese started playing in the youth teams from the extreme, then from the winger and from the center, transforming himself at the age of 16 into the third row and finally into a prop. A versatility that he has also shown outside of rugby: the son of a footballer and a volleyball player, he has practiced many sports, including martial arts. His idol is Sergio Parisse, his legitimate ambition is to become a staple of the senior national team, with his skills as a modern prop and a very strong personality, as a natural leader.
