Italy beat Australia for the second time in their history on Saturday thanks to tries by Melbourne-born Monty Ioane and by Louis Lynagh, the son of one of the greatest Wallabies. The Azzurri were trailing by seven points when Lynagh crossed for a converted try in the 58th minute to level the scores with Australia, who also lost to England last weekend, a man down after a rash tackle by Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii. Wing Lynagh, the son of World Cup-winner Michael Lynagh, was born in Treviso where his father played. His mother is Italian. He represented England at youth level after moving there with his family as a boy. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo?

Source: News.com.au It was a fully deserved win for Gonzalo Quesada’s team who defended brilliantly and capitalised on Suaalii’s yellow card after going behind early in the second half to Carter Gordon’s controversial try in his first match for Australia since the last Rugby World Cup. “It’s incredible, just by playing these matches you understand the adrenaline of winning in front of our fans. Winning a match like this against teams like this is amazing,” said lock forward Niccolo Cannone. “Gonzalo told us that we needed to go out there and relive what we had three years ago, to dream. We had a good first half but we could feel the soul of this team.” Italy's wing #11 Monty Ioane celebrates after scoring a try during the Autumn Nations Series international rugby union match between Italy and Australia (wallabies) at the Friuli stadium in Udine on November 8, 2025.

Australia responded after 20 minutes when Matt Faessler went over the line from a maul. Andrew Kellaway missed the conversion. And 11 minutes later another powerful push by the Wallabies forwards ended with Angus Bell extending the ball over the try line. Kellaway converted. Garbisi kicked the gap to three points and then levelled the scores with his boot shortly after half-time thanks to impressive defensive pressure which consistently forced mistakes from Australia. Italy were dealt a blow three minutes later when Gordon marked his return to the Australian national team with a controversial try which enraged the Azzurri.
