ROME, Italy (AP) — Italy has once again defeated Australia, winning the match with a score of 26-19 on Saturday. This victory is historic, as until 2022, Italy had not defeated the Australian team.

Players from the Australian side, Luigi Ling and Monti Ioane, were key figures in this victory, scoring tries for Australia. Ling is the son of the legend "Wollabies" Michael Ling, while Ioane is the nephew of former player "Wollabies" Digby Ioane.

The match started with an early penalty from Paolo Garbisi, who opened the scoring in the 6th minute. After this, Australia responded with attempts from Matti Faessler and Angus Bell, but Garbisi again scored a penalty, converting a penalty kick in the first half.

After halftime, Australia again took the lead after attempts from Carter Aordon, but Italy quickly restored parity. In the 58th minute, Ling scored a try, putting Italy ahead after Joseph-Sualii was sent off with a yellow card. After this, Ioane finished the attack, scoring another try for Italy, which secured their victory.

This victory is Italy's second win over "Wollabies", following their 28-27 win in Florence in 2022. The next match for Italy will take place on November 15, where they will face South Africa.
