Review: Italy vs Canada
Italy have secured their 5th successive victory against Canada, bringing their tally to 6 victories from 8 meetings. The Italians looked to be struggling for the majority of the game, trailing by 2 points early in the second half.
Canada had the chance to take the lead with less than 10 minutes on the clock, but opted to go for the posts rather than to the corner, giving Italy a 2 point cushion.
In the end, it was Italy's experience that saw them through the fixture, with out half Tommaso Allan slotting 5/5 off the tee.
Man of the Match: DTH Van Der Merwe. Canada's key man troubled Italy anytime he was on the ball, scoring a superb try in the opening minutes and breaking their defensive line on several occasions throughout the 80
