Ange Capuozzo marked his maiden Rugby World Cup appearance with a fine solo try in Italy‘s 52-8 victory over Namibia in Pool A.
Speed merchant Capuozzo has developed a reputation as one of the world’s best finishers since his international debut last year and delighted the Saint-Etienne crowd with his 55th-minute effort.
Capuozzo, who plys his trade in France with Toulouse, exchanged passes with Monty Ioane before he dived over the line in a rare opportunity to stretch his legs in a bonus-point win for Italy.
Namibia opened the scoring at Stade Geoffroy Guichard when fly-half Tiaan Swanepoel sent over an early penalty but it was not the beginning of a shock win for the African nation.
