Italy-France

Kieran Crowley, Technical Commissioner of the Italian Men’s National Rugby Team, has made official the lineup that will face France on Friday, October 6 at 9 p.m. at Olympique Stadium in Lyon in the match valid for the fourth and final match for the Azzurri in Group A of the Rugby World Cup 2023, a match that will be broadcast live on Rai 2 and Sky Sport 1.

It will be match number 48 between the two teams, the second in a World Cup after the previous one in the group stage in 2015 won by France.

In the wide triangle Capuozzo returns to wear the number 15 jersey with Ioane and Bruno on the wings, the latter making his first start in the Rugby World Cup. Pair of centers formed by Brex and Paolo Garbisi, in his second appearance in the No. 12 jersey after the match against Uruguay. Midfield keys entrusted to Tommaso Allan – who became the Azzurri’s top scorer in the Rugby World Cup – and Varney.

Fourth consecutive match as a starter for the third-line unit formed by captain Lamaro, Negri and Lorenzo Cannone. In the second line along with Ruzza returns Niccolò Cannone, while Ceccarelli, Faiva and Ferrari will take the field in the first line.

Ready to take over from the bench will be Manfredi, Zani, Riccioni, Sisi, Zuliani, Fusco, Morisi and Pani.

US Open, Alexander Zverev also out: Jannik Sinner thanks.

All-U.S. semifinal at US Open

Another big man exits the tournament. After the various Alcaraz and Djokovic, Zverev è is also no longer in the running at the US Open. The German è was beaten by Fritz in four sets (7-6 (2) 3-6 6-4 7-6), at the end of a match that è lasted almost three and a half hours. A defeat that leaves a lot of bitterness in Zverev’s mouth. The German was aiming to reach at least the final.

A feat for the American who, dragged by the home crowd, won the first semifinal of a Slam event. After winning the first set on tie-break, Fritz suffered the return of Zverev, who took home the second partial with a peremptory 6-3. The momentum seemed to be in the German’s hands but Fritz escaped on 3-0. Zverev recovers but gives up at the più beautiful. Spectacular fourth set. Zverev tries everything but, once again, the tie-break costs him dearly. He loses it 7-3 and says goodbye to the tournament.

Dreams big for Fritz who, in the semifinals, will face the other American Tiafoe who, in the quarterfinals, wins the match with Dimitrov, forced to retire in the fourth set due to a physical problem: 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 4-1 the partials in favor of Tiafoe.

The United States dreams, after 21 years (Roddick, 2003), of an American winning the U.S. Open. In the meantime, it enjoys Sinner who, thanks to Zverev &egrave’s knockout; increasingly serene in his comfortable position as world No. 1.
