It was an uninspiring women’s Six Nations for Italy, who finished with just one victory and 4 knockouts, including those against Scotland and Wales, two matches absolutely within the reach of the Italians. Who struggled to play as a team, despite some excellent individuals. And one of these, that of Alyssa D’Incà has confirmed herself as one of the strongest players in Europe.
The blue trocar, in fact, he put on a great show both in attack and defense in all 5 matches and to confirm its quality came the nomination as best player of the tournament. Together with D’Incà, the Irish Aoife Wafer, the French Romaine Menager and the English Ellie Kildunne are candidates. Certainly not three appearances in the tournament and which give even greater value to the appointment of the blue winger.
But not only that, because Alyssa is also in the running for a second prize, the one relating to the best goal of the tournament. This is the second try scored by Alyssa D’Incà against France, who is in the running for the award together with the score of the French Annaëlle Deshaye in the same match, that of Ellie Kildunne with Wales and that of Abby Dow with Ireland .
Born in Belluno on 23 March 2002, Alyssa D’Incà grew up as a rugby player in Alpago before moving to Villorba in 2018. She can play both wing and centre, but also scrum half, the Italian made her national team debut in 2021 against England, which was followed by a call-up to the European World Qualifying Tournament in Parma. Since then, 26 caps for Alyssa, but above all an increasingly leading role with Italy.
