Italy stun Wallabies with Australian influence to the fore

The result continued a miserable year for Australia who were beaten by England at Twickenham last week

Italy upset Australia with a come-from-behind 26-19 victory on Saturday with the son of a Wallaby great scoring one try and an Australian-born winger the other to snatch a famous victory for the hosts.

Louis Lynagh, born in Italy when his father Michael played for Treviso, and Melbourne-born Monty Ioane, proved Italy’s heroes as they won for only the second time in 20 tests against the Wallabies.
