Josh Adams gifts Man of the Match medal to Italy sensation Ange Capuozzo

Absolute class from Josh Adams.

Wales may have lost 22-21 to an ecstatic Italy at the Principality Stadium, today, but Josh Adams can hold his head up high. For more reasons than one. The Wales winger saved an all-but-certain Italy try as he tackled Monty Ioane out of play, only to score a stunner of his own, late in the game. It looked as though the Adams score would finally settle it with an Italian side that had led for long stretches, in Cardiff. In the final minutes, though, 22-year-old Grenoble winger Ange Capuozzo blazed through the Welsh defence and set up teammate Edoardo Padovani for the stunning match-clincher. It was Italy's first Six Nations win after a 36-game winless streak that stretched back over seven years. There were scenes of pure jubilation and ecstasy at the final whistle as the Italian players realised they had done it.
