After the success of the oval vintage of Andrea Piardi (debut at the Six Nations and two URC finals in two seasons) and the recent international debut of Gianluca Gnecchi, another satisfaction arrives for Italian rugby.
Federico Vedovelli in South Africa for the U20 World Cup
From the World Rugby website you can read the name of Federico Vedovelli in that of Referees i.e. race directors. An important call for the whistler from Valtellina, former international referee in URC and match director in the Serie A Elite final. With him too Matteo Liperinicalled as race assistant/TMO.
The calls of the Japanese referee Takehito Namekawa, the Georgian Saba Abulashvili and the Argentine Neheun Jauri Rivero were interesting.
