In Scotland, the Italy of rugby is experiencing yet another psychodrama. It’s time for a change of course

It ends with a painful 26-14 for the Scots, at the end of a match played well by the Azzurri who however didn’t know how to take advantage of the opportunities. As has happened too many times in the last releases. The national team ends the tournament with 5 defeats, but in view of the World Cup it’s not all to be thrown away, on the contrary

It’s hard to come to terms with yourself before your opponents. Draw a line at the end of the race, write a balance sheet, reflect on what was good and what was missing. It’s always difficult for rugby’s Italy, because it’s in a competition that will reach a quarter of a century next year and from day one they’ll be up against the best formations in Europe. Only that there are turning points that affect a growth context.
