When Ange Capuozzo and Edoardo Padovani combined for the last-ditch converted try that stunned Wales in Cardiff last year, the Azzurri finally showed coach Kieran Crowley what he told them they were capable of.Italy was at one of its lowest points when Crowley took charge in May 2021.

Then he tried to convince them they could win and how to do it.But until they beat Wales to end a depressing 36-game losing streak in the Six Nations, they weren’t really convinced. Italy hasn’t been the same since. Wins are still elusive but the Azzurri are going for them in a Rugby World Cup pool including France, New Zealand and Uruguay.“Self-belief,” is the difference in the Italy ranks between now and two years ago, Crowley noted on Thursday, two days before their opening match against Namibia in Saint-Etienne.“When y...
