Beating South Africa, moreover, at home is the feat of companies and so cheers for the Under 20 national team of coach Brunello and captain Odiase who crushed the Boks 34-26 in Paarl, a wonder of a city in the midst of vineyards behind Cape Town Cape and Table Mountain. A battle in the mud that the South Africans prefer and which instead saw the Azzurri dominate throughout the match. We are at the Under 20 World Cup and with this victory (with bonus) they are back on track after the heavy knockout against Argentina. A victory obtained with skill and with even more stubbornness by repelling the assaults of the South Africans who had brought themselves to less than 5 points in the second half. Never had a national under blue team beat South Africa.
