Tuipulotu’s try decides in the 78th minute after a match led by the Azzurre for most of the half
Six Nations 2024: Wales-Italy highlights. Blue mockery at the end
Italy’s women’s Six Nations ended with a defeat, beaten 22-20 in Cardiff by Wales with a try 2 minutes from the end by Tuipulotu. An incredible joke after a second half in which Raineri’s team was in the lead for a long time, first with the 10-5 gained in the first half, then with the 20-15 built by the tries of Granzotto and Stevanin.
Unfortunately, it was not enough to achieve what would have been the second success of the Six Nations for Italy, which closes with 7 points, still avoiding last place – which remains with Wales – but which lacks a success that seemed fully within reach .

The Italians suffered particularly in the melee, with Prys and Tuipulotu making the loudest voices, and this allowed Wales to always have a platform from which to build their game.
