With All Blacks and Springboks for company, Italy face tough task

A final-day defeat to France in Rome left them bottom of the table, having lost every game for the fourth year in a row.

Belief in the Irishman’s project remains strong and the success of Benetton, who last season became the first Italian club to reach the Pro14 play-offs, provided evidence of good work being done behind the scenes. Their warm-up matches did little to inspire confidence as they fell to heavy defeats away to Ireland, France and England, although they comfortably beat Russia at home.
