• Pool B: Italy 48-7 Canada
• Second straight bonus-point victory for Azzurri
Italy’s forwards bludgeoned Canada into submission with seven tries in a 48-7 victory amid energy-sapping humidity at Fukuoka Hakatanomori Stadium, catapulting them to the top of Pool B.
Italy captain Dean Budd, who scored his side’s second try, said: “We’ve earned a few drinks tonight. We were blowing out there but we put a massive focus on the first 20 minutes and the effort we put into that first 20 minutes took a bit of the pressure off.”
