Italy at the Rugby World Cup, interview with Ange Capuozzo
It starts tomorrow: The Azzurri face Namibia on Saturday, then Uruguay, All Blacks and France. The most awaited: “We must have a lot of patience”
GThe eyes of the world are on France: Tomorrow begins at the Stade de France in Paris when the hosts challenge the All Blacks for the tenth Oval World Championship. 48 games in 51 days and 9 cities are planned until the final on October 28th. The event, which takes place less than 11 months before the Olympics, is universal. When the starting line-ups for the opening game were announced yesterday, word broke immediately that Moefana and Lienert-Brown would replace injured Danty and Jordie Barrett at the first center. In the same group as the two superpowers is Italy, who made their debut against Namibia in Saint Etienne on Saturday. And in Italy there is one player who is in the spotlight: Ange Capuozzo. Appreciated at all latitudes, the 24-year-old full-back/winger was born and raised in Grenoble: Bourgoin, home of the Italian team from Sunday and throughout the tournament, is 60 kilometers away.
