Italy beats Canada on late penalty in rugby test match


TORONTO (AP) " Italy's substitute flyhalf Carlo Canna kicked a late penalty to secure a 20-18 comeback win over Canada in a rugby union test match Sunday. Ornel Gega scored a try for Italy while Tommaso Allan kicked four penaltiesGord McRorie scored all of Canada's points with six penalties. Canna was yellow-carded in the 76th minute for a high tackle on Dan Moor, reducing the Italians to 14 men. Trailing 18-17, Canna made the decisive kick from close range in the 72nd minute after a back-and-forth game dominated by penalties. But Italy maintained possession and held on for victory.
