It forced Uruguay to ground the ball in their in-goal area after having crossed the try line with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the ensuing scrum to Italy came the match\u2019s first try, as winger Lorenzo Pani took a crash ball off an early phase to score by only just touching down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"media-content-img\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rss-efeb457f466e2847c547cdad6dd9fd3448335402f1aw.jpg\" class=\"attachment-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb size-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb\" alt=\"Italy&#039;s Juan Ignacio Brex (C) in action during the Rugby World Cup 2023 Pool A match between Italy and Uruguay in Nice, France, 20 September 2023.

Lamaro threw a slow pass to the wing just inside his own half that Etcheverry intercepted before being brought down in the five-meter line. That&#8217;s when Italy\u2019s disciplinary problems began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lock Niccolo Cannone was shown a yellow card for cynical play following a sustained spell of Uruguayan pressure deep inside the Azzurri\u2019s half. It got worse for Crowley\u2019s men, when loosehead prop Danilo Fischetti met the same fate shortly after for collapsing the ensuing maul and giving away a penalty try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italy had not received a yellow card in more than two tournaments. Now, they had received two in not even two minutes. It was all epitomized by referee Angus Gardner giving two team warnings while play developed in the midfield \u2013 for a tackle after the whistle and a high shot \u2013 as the Australian official began telling Lamaro to control his outfit time and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"media-content-img\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rss-efe8670041f450102697e953d45c8ab62ad1c4c5c69w.jpg\" class=\"attachment-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb size-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb\" alt=\"Italy&#039;s Tommaso Allan (C) in action during the Rugby World Cup 2023 Pool A match between Italy and Uruguay in Nice, France, 20 September 2023.

It worked, but they would go left to the short side for winger Nicolas Freitas to surge them ahead in the scoreboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Etcheverry redeemed himself with an assist and a curling conversion, supplementing it with an exquisite drop goal from 30 meters that saw them leading 7-17 at the change of ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can only speculate on what Crowley told his men at half time, but the reaction was instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uruguayan captain Andres Vilaseca saw a yellow card for a high tackle early after the restart, and Italy seized the moment to begin their comeback. They first had a maul held up after winning a penalty. Then, a subsequent play led the Azzurri to the opposition 22-meter line, where much of the second half would take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this occasion, it was Lamaro running a hard line following some fast hands, as he easily passed Uruguay scrum-half Santiago Arata to bring his side to within three points. They then scored again, as Italy began to turn the screw and play territory deep into Los Teros\u2019 half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"media-content-img\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rss-efe8bbec50279569a672502ca2fd77467eca2fd74dcw.jpg\" class=\"attachment-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb size-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb\" alt=\"Uruguay&#039;s Nicolas Freitas in action during the Rugby World Cup 2023 Pool A match between Italy and Uruguay in Nice, France, 20 September 2023.

It won\u2019t show either that Los Teros humbled the Italians at the breakdown, a worrying prospect as they prepare to play two teams in France and New Zealand with important jackalling threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it will remind sides that Italy play a lethal brand of exciting and attacking rugby, capable of delivering tries aplenty in waves of incessant pressure on the opposition red zone. There are aspects about Crowley\u2019s team to fix, but there are also aspects about them to fear \u2013 and only a careless All Blacks outfit would underestimate them when they meet next week in Lyon.
