What a game. Disappointed for England but absolutely delighted for Italy. I have been to the Stadio Olimpico several times over the past few years to watch Italy play and it has always ended up in a defeat to the Azzurri with a stadium half full. Today I felt very privileged to be there working on the game with ITV Sport. The atmosphere was amazing, the stadium was sold out with over 70,000 fans. No words can truly sum up just how important that win was to the Italian people (who believed it was possible!). It’s been a crazy Six Nations….but that’s why we love it! :)
