While waiting to find out if the French team will achieve the Grand Slam this Saturday evening against England, Italy won in the afternoon against Wales (21-22).
This is a real feat, since the Italians had not won a match in the 6 Nations Tournament since 2015.
A sublime try from winger Edoardo Padovani on Saturday gave Italy its first victory since 2015 in the Six Nations Tournament (22-21), during the 5th and final day at defending champions Wales. .
In the lead for most of the match, the Italians had seen the Welsh go past them with 12 minutes to go, but a breakthrough from the back and future Toulouse, Ange Capuozzo, put Padovani into orbit, and offered the Transalpines this first high-profile success since beating Scotland 22-19 at Murrayfield in 2015.
