Watch: Ange Capuozzo splits Boks defence for another screamer

Ange Cappuozzo runs riot against SA.

Italian flyer Ange Capuozzo has cut through the Springboks’ defence for another sensational Autumn Nations Series 5 pointer – this time in Genoa.

The World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year nominee was on the receiving end of a tip on from Italian back row star Michele Lamaro and he didn’t need to be asked twice. The 23-year-old fullback made a B-line for whitewash after jinking inside of Kurt-Lee Arendse before outpacing the covering tackle of Damien Willemse.

It was his first touch of the game.

Capuozzo lit up the Guinness Six Nations this year and has gone on to bring that form to the Autumn Nations Series. He was similarly electric against the Wallabies, scoring a remarkable try against Dave Rennie’s men in Florence last weekend, a score that went on to see the Azzurri bagging their first win over Australia.

You can see French Top 14 giants Toulouse has sealed him in with a mega five-year deal.

Cappuozzo is one of a number of young Italian players who have spearheaded a seeming Italy renaissance, which was kicked started following their upset win over Wales in Cardiff.

He is one of four nominees for the breakthrough player of year award, alongside England’s Henry Arundell, Ireland’s Mack Hansen and Dan Sheehan. The results will be announced on Sunday evening in Monaco.
