Match Commentary

81'		48-7 End of second half
80'		A big win for the Italians, who deservedly run away with the result. Jake Polledri was massive for the men in blue, as was Matteo Minozzi. Canada will rue a number of penalties and sloppy skill errors - for their sake, hopefully they've now blown out the cobwebs. That's where we'll leave the live blog, thanks for joining us!
80'		FULL TIME! Italy 48 - 7 Canada.
