'From now on we really want to start to be competitive'

The shock Guinness Six Nations victory over Wales has marked the beginning of a new chapter for Italy and proved that the Azzurri can hold their own at the top table of European rugby, according to captain Michele Lamaro. Question marks had been raised about Italy’s future in the championship following a run of 36 successive defeats stretching back to 2015.

However, they stunned defending champions Wales last weekend, winning 22-21 in Cardiff to collect their first-ever victory on Welsh soil. Italy clinched the win a minute from time when full-back Ange Capuozzo attacked from inside his own half and Edoardo Padovani claimed a try that Paolo Garbisi converted to spark wild scenes of celebration.

Lamaro, who plays his club rugby with Benetton in the United Rugby Championship, could hardly have anticipated captaining Italy to their next Six Nations win when he watched their previous victory – a 22-19 triumph over Scotland – at a friend’s house as a 16-year-old. However, he is now determined that the dark days are behind Italy and that he and head coach Kieran Crowley can help guide the national team to new heights.

    “What we are trying to do is to create a positive process that allows us to be competitive in the game and obviously to be prepared before and after,” the 23-year-old flanker told the PA news agency. “We don’t want to get to the point again where we’re not competing and not having those results.

    “From now on we really want to start to be competitive day by day, just by trusting our process. (The Wales result) is something that gives you confidence that you can be there, you can compete at this level, you can win a game in the last minute. We knew it but for us as a team, the result gives us a lot of confidence moving on.”

    The next 18 months will be all about building towards the 2023 Rugby World Cup for Italy. “Everything is planned to get to the World Cup in the best place we can,” added Lamaro. “This Six Nations was meant to be our foundation so that we can build on that and the great work has been done.

    “Moving on it will get easier to refocus and to think about our foundations and our basics. That is our standard and we don’t want to drop it. I’m so excited to work with this group because we are all young and we want to achieve the highest thing we can. That is something that makes me so proud of the group in general and of the family we are trying to build. I’m really happy to be their leader and to be on the front line with them all of the time.”

    One memorable moment from their victory in Cardiff came when Wales wing Josh Adams handed over his player of the match medal to Capuozzo, who has caught the eye with his two-try debut against Scotland and his key late intervention in the Welsh capital. “That was a brilliant moment from him (Adams) and it shows how much respect there is between each other,” said Lamaro.

    “Ange is a really good guy. Even after two matches like that he has been so calm and that is something you have to be happy about because a guy like that with such a talent, it’s difficult to stay calm and stay humble.”

    WEBSITE W.W.W.techcyberforcerecovery.com WHATSAPP +1 561.726.36.97  EMAIL  Techcybersforcerecovery@cyberservices.comI Thought I Was Too Smart to Be Scammed, Until I Was. I'm an attorney, so precision and caution are second nature to me. My life is one of airtight contracts and triple-checking every single detail. I'm the one people come to for counsel. But none of that counted for anything on the day I lost $750,000 in Bitcoin to a scam.It started with what seemed like a normal email, polished, professional, with the same logo as my cryptocurrency exchange's support team. I was between client meetings, juggling calls and drafting agreements, when it arrived. The email warned of "suspicious activity" on my account. My heart pounding, I reacted reflexively. I clicked on the link. I entered my login credentials. I verified my wallet address.The reality hit me like a blow to the chest. My balance was zero seconds later. The screen went dim as horror roiled in my stomach. The Bitcoin I had worked so hard to accumulate over the years, stored for my retirement and my children's future, was gone.I felt embarrassed. Lawyers are supposed to outwit criminals, not get preyed on by them. Mortified, I asked a client, a cybersecurity specialist, for advice, expecting criticism. But he just suggested TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. He assured me that they dealt with delicate situations like mine.I was confident from the first call that I was in good hands. They treated me with empathy and discretion by their staff, no patronizing lectures. They understood the sensitive nature of my business and assured me of complete confidentiality.Their forensic experts dove into blockchain analysis with attention to detail that rivaled my own legal work. They tracked the stolen money through a complex network of offshore wallets and cryptocurrency tumblers tech jargon that appeared right out of a spy thriller. Once they had identified the thieves, they initiated a blockchain reversal process, a cutting-edge method I was not even aware was possible.Three weeks of suffering later, my Bitcoin was back. Every Satoshi counted for. I sat in front of my desk, looking at the refilled balance, tears withheld.TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY not only restored my assets, they provided legal-grade documentation that empowered me to bring charges against the scammers. Today, I share my story with colleagues as a warning. Even the best minds get it. But when they do, it is nice to know the Wizards have your back.
