Six Nations, captain Michele Lamaro charges Italrugby.

The words of Michele Lamaro

A leaden sky with a spring-like temperature was the backdrop for Italy’s Captain’s Run at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, which tomorrow – Saturday, March 11 at 3:15 p.m. – will be the scene of the match against Wales valid for the fourth day of the Guinness Six Nations 2023, a match that will be broadcast live on Sky Sport Uno and TV8.

“In the approach to the match nothing changes, we prepared it as a normal match. Certainly the perception around this challenge changes,” said Michele Lamaro in the usual pre-match press conference, “we know that we have to raise the level and that we have to perform exceptionally well to earn what we deserve, but to do that we have to do what we have done so far.

“They will want to put us down physically, and we will have to be ready to respond the same way, especially in the breakdown and in game situations that can disadvantage us. They will try to put us in trouble and foul our balls. We will have to be good at countering that as well, putting all the effort we can and executing in the best way what we have to do. Unfortunately, in the first 30 minutes we were not that performant, and we were always forced to have to chase, and despite that we never gave up or backed down, and this allowed us to stay in touch. However, we want to avoid conceding too much at the beginning,” stressed the Blue captain,
