Italy finally ended their losing streak at the Six Nations last year and will be determined to progress following an encouraging autumn.<\/p>\n

The Italians endured 36 losses on the bounce, a run stretching from 2017 to 2022, before they defeated Wales by a single point in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

Italy followed up their Six Nations curse-breaking display with another narrow victory, this time over Australia in the Autumn Internationals.<\/p>\n

Kieran Crowley\u2019s men even found 21 points against world champions South Africa. They did concede 61 points in that game to suffer a heavy defeat, but there are notable encouragements for Italy to take into this tournament.<\/p>\n
