Italy beat South Africa
20-18 in Florence Saturday in their first-ever win against world
rugby's Big Three of New Zealand, Australia and the Springboks.
The Azzurri notched their greatest victory just a week after
they were blown away by the All Blacks 68-10.
"Today, we rode the roller coaster and we survived by sheer
heart and courage," Italy coach Conor O'Shea said after his
fifth match in charge.
"They weren't just brave, they were heroic."
