Italy v Argentina: Tomas Albornoz delivers another masterclass as ...

Fly-half Tomas Albornoz scored 20 points for Argentina in their commanding 50-18 win over Italy in the Autumn Nations Series on Saturday.

Argentina scored seven tries on the day with Albornoz bagging a score while Juan Cruz Mallia, Gonzalo Bertranou, Joel Sclavi, Santiago Cordero, Matias Alemanno and Bautista Delguy also crossed.

From the tee Albornoz kicked six conversions and a penalty.

The hosts had less luck with only two tries, one from Giacomo Nicotera and another penalty try, with Tomasso Allan kicking two penalties.

It was Los Pumas out of the gates first as Albornoz kicked his first penalty before he slotted a conversion for Mallia’s breakout try on 11 minutes.

Momentum stayed with the blue and white as Bertranou scored close to the half-hour mark which was quickly followed by a maul penalty try just minutes later. That would be it for the first period before it turned to chaos in the second.

Allan kicked a penalty to start before Sclavi crashed over just eight minutes into the second half. Albornoz kicked the conversion then found himself over the whitewash in the 56th minute.

Next over in the line was Cordero before Italy scored their final try through Nicotera with 13 minutes left.

That did not stop Los Pumas from scoring two quick tries through Alemanno and Delguy. Albornoz kicked the conversion to notch up 50 points for Argentina.
