I am so proud that 2 of the Top 3 tries were done by Italy. 😊 It's really a joy for us italian rugby fans to see Italy finally playing an awesome rugby. We waited so long for this, and it fills our hearts with pride and joy to see so much appreciation coming from other countries. ❤

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

I’m super-happy for you. Your team plays beautiful rugby. As you can probably tell, I’m a huge fan!

[@ChrisLoNgShAnK1990]

Same here, I've been watching since the early 00s and this is by far the best Italy I've ever seen. Locicero would be proud!

[@Mega17Andrea]

@ChrisLoNgShAnK1990 I've been following since about 2009, and I fully agree with you. It's by far the best italian team I've ever seen. They clearly know what they are doing on the field, they are organized, they are patient, they use schemes, they often gain territory when they get tacked in attack, they are fast and energetic, great at defending, good handling, very rarely they loose the ball forward, great with offloads and keeping the ball alive, they are good to take advantage of opportunities, they have a good game with kicks, they work together like a well oiled mechanism. And we don't only have one or two good players, but many of them are very talented. A few years ago, I could have imagined Italy playing like this only in my wettest dreams. Think that just 3 years ago, we were 15th in the world ranking, and now we are 8th... We are one of the Top 10 teams in the world. It blows my mind 🤯.

Menoncello is going to be a name that will echo worldwide in the near future. This guy is one of the best center ever and he is only 20! Italy is playing an high quality rugby and they are now able to score from anywhere in the pitch against all 6N opponents. It’s a joy to watch this rugby!

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

Hard agree with all of this. 👊

[@philipmccarthy6175]

He has fantastic potential but to suggest he's one of the best centres ever at just 21 years of age is pure hyperbole. Judge a player at the end of his career , not when it's just begun.

[@GrimDarkness1972]

@@philipmccarthy6175 let’s talk about it again in ten years, then 😅

[@philipmccarthy6175]

@GrimDarkness1972 Exactly , there are so many great centre's who have played the game , to put Menoncello in that category now would be unfair on him and a disservice to the legends that came before him.

[@GrimDarkness1972]

@@philipmccarthy6175 I’m still convinced he deserve some credit. He would have been English or French or Australian there would have been far much din about him already, don’t you think?

[@nic-ci_66-77]

As italian fan I'm so satisfied that my team did nine tries and if i'm not wrong each one was done with great 'ball in hands' actions.. Yesterday i saw some young players training to repeat the same amazing skill of Lorenzo Pani; a guy who grew up so close to my town and I saw playing almost two times every year in heartfelt darbys against my son's team. I'm happy with him, altought I admit it's more easy to reply the CR7 celebration than his running movement 😅

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

So great to hear they are inspiring the next generation - awesome!

[@user-sf4wi4yy1t]

I played rugby in Italy when I was 19, now I'm 70. I've followed Italy forever. I say that it's beautiful to cry with joy at 70, finally.

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

👏👏👏👏🇮🇹 Amazing!

[@asevado]

Menoncello is a bull, indeed. And just 21, if I'm not mistaken. He has all the chanche to be one of the best in his role.

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

I think he already is one of the best in his role!

[@nic-ci_66-77]

Sure... someone says he's a so big boy. But he's not particularly big: he's just especially strong in his arms and legs

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

Strong like bull!

[@Leslie-Rugby]

1: I agree Italy's try against France is brilliant. The end of it is very similar to the one I would have picked instead of your fifth for Ireland against Italy.

[@gioelebesacchi1019]

Im Italy fan.... 2024!OMG! Very happy for tournament finalmente abbiamo espresso un ottimo gioco. Speriamo di continuare così

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

Super happy for you - Forza Italia!

[@MACYNET323]

Pani pass between the opponents like a snake, impressive try

[@Mega17Andrea]

He definitely deserved that try, he passed through 4 opponents with none of them being able to stop him. Rugby at the highest level. 👌🏻

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

It was all in the hips! :)

[@GrimDarkness1972]

Reminds me of a little Welsh guy called Shane-something for the ease he pit three players to the grass to watch the daffodils… 😂😂

​@@GrimDarkness1972 From a physical point of view Pani reminds me of Liam Williams more than Shane

Great selection.

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

Thank you!!

Great video thanks !

Glad you liked it!

[@lazios]

I'm Italian, so I'm happy with the choice (I suppose it's also a way to giving credit for Italy's improvements). As a lover (who, however, has never played but only watched a lot of rugby), I think the try scored by Ireland against Italy is the most complete: an impressive exhibition of power, confidence and technique (in addition to this, I would add that of France against England, fourth place here). This is not to deny any credit to Italy, who really has a generation of players who are technically very good, especially our three-quarter (winger and centre), I hope it's understandable what I mean despite my English. 🍺

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

Absolutely - 100% understandable - thanks for sharing!

[@Leslie-Rugby]

9: I personnaly prefered the one with Russel's kick. The kick is absolutely marvelous.

[@MisterMario69]

Incredibili i miglioramenti dell'Italia,specialmente in difesa e nel gioco alla mano😉

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

Absolutely magnificent!

[@user-zp3io8qd8h]

Notice that in the majority of our tries there Is the claw of our magnificent T-Brex😂

[@philipmccarthy6175]

Gibso-Park's try against France on day one was a thing of beauty and was worthy of the top 10.

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

There were quite a few others that were worthy of praise. A lot of outstanding tries this year. We were blessed.

[@claudiolatorre1531]

Aioni doesn't play for Italy, maybe you meant Ioane 😂

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

I really struggle with his name. NGL. I’ve had to re-record bits with him in so many times. It’s like I’m missing a piece of software…

[@lizzyhanahoe4197]

Italy is looking goooood. Fair play to them, exciting for next years 6 Nations. ☘🇮🇪💚

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

💯

[@Leslie-Rugby]

5: I personnaly prefered the second irish try against Italy. Marvelous offloads.

[@francoisrolland7847]

Bielle-Biarrey against Scotland should be 1st and it's not even in your top 10😅

[@amateurrugbypodcast]

In your opinion. Which I respect 😃
