Italy ended 49 years of hurt from Australia by upending the Wallabies 28-27 for the first time in test rugby on Saturday. Wallabies debutant Ben Donaldson could have denied Italy after the fulltime hooter but his attempted conversion Cadeyrn Neville last-minute try flew wide. Another strong Italian scrum earned the hosts another penalty but Allan missed again from around 40 meters. But that was quickly forgotten when wing Montanna Ioane carried the ball into the Australian 22 and Capuozzo burst through a hole for his second try. The Azzurri looked like they were going to miss out on history when Neville grabbed Tate McDermott’s pass and burst across, but Donaldson couldn't convert on a day when Italy missed five goalkicks and Australia missed two.
