Rugby, the most beautiful goal of the Six Nations belongs to Genoese Bruno

A solitary run of seventy meters with an oval ball full of wind: the goal of the Genoese Pierre Bruno last Saturday at the Olimpico in Rome was voted as the best of the third round of the Six Nations rugby, and it is yet another recognition to the Azzurri in a season to remember. We were at the end of the first half of the match against Ireland, the Greens ahead 24 – 10 and in possession of the ball: a lineout won, a quick pass to second center Bundee Aki, whose pass was however intercepted by the very fast winger of the national team, who escaped uncatchable and thus reopened the game. From Cardiff to Paris via Rome, of all 17 goals in the final round of the tournament this was judged to be the most spectacular. Twenty-six years old, from Sestri Ponente, raised in the western provinces of Paolo Ricchebono and then moved to Cus Genova, Pierre Bruno today is one of the strengths of Zebre di Parma, the federal franchise. Last autumn he scored twice with Samoa, then repeated with Australia. In November, at the end of the exciting test match against South Africa played at the Luigi Ferraris stadium in Genoa, he knelt on the lawn and – showing her her ring – asked his girlfriend Jessica to marry him: proposal accepted.
