Thanks for joining us!

We're going to conclude our coverage here —thanks for your company!

It wasn't the result Wallabies fans were hoping for, but credit to Italy who was the better team on the day.

Make sure to join us again next Sunday morning AEDT for the Wallabies vs Ireland showdown.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

What now for the Wallabies?

The Wallabies have little time to lick their wounds following the loss to Italy.

They face Ireland in Dublin next weekend, before meeting France in Paris to wrap up the tour.

There is plenty to play for, but the Wallabies's display in Udine wont't boost the confidence of their supporters. 

Post-match assessment
Wallabies punished for poor discipline

The penalty count should make the Wallabies wince.

They gave up 13 to Italy's seven.

Of those 13 penalties, seven were given away inside the Wallabies's half.

They were also handed a yellow card for Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii's high shot in the build-up to Louis Lynagh's try midway through the second half.

The Wallabies only have themselves to blame when it comes to discipline.

FT: ITALY WINS!!!!

ITALY TRIUMPHS!!!!

Well done Italy, it wins 26-19.

The Wallabies slump to consecutive defeats on their spring tour.

It's also back-to-back losses to Italy, who broke through for a historic victory over the Wallabies in 2022.

The Wallabies were off their game, but Italy was the better team and deserve the result.

Gli Azzurri trailed 12-9 at the break, having kept in touch via penalty goals in the first half.

Their confidence grew in the second half and they were rewarded with tries to Louis Lynagh and Monty Ioane.

They also got the upper hand at the breakdown, an area of the game which the Wallabies pride themseves on.

79' Wallabies gain another penalty

A minute on the clock —what can the Wallabies do?

They have a line-out inside Italy's half, but the home side gets a penalty of its own.

77' Wallabies get late penalty

Rov Valetini makes his presence felt after coming on as a reserve for the Wallabies.

He earns the Wallabies a breakdown penalty close to their line, when Italy was on attack.

But time is running out for the tourists …

75' Italy leads with five on the clock

The Wallabies are searching for answers in attack, but Italy's breakdown pressure earns another penalty.

Are we looking at Italy's second consecutive Test victory over the Wallabies?

72' Italy blows a chance

Italy appeared headed for the goal line once more, when reserve Federico Ruzza intercepted a Wallabies pass.

But the play came to nothing, with Italy turning the ball over inside the visitors' half.

Wallabies dodge a bullet with that one.

71' Samu makes Test return

Pete Samu is back in the Test arena, replacing Harry Wilson in the Wallabies's back-row.
