What channel is Italy v Samoa Autumn Internationals match on? Kick-off time and live stream
Check out our guide about how to watch Italy v Samoa in the Autumn Internationals 2022 including TV details and UK time.
To begin Italy’s Autumn campaign, Kieran Crowley’s side will have a tricky matchup with Samoa before ending November with Tests against Australia and South Africa.
With changes to World Rugby’s eligibility rules, Samoa have been able to call on a number of star players from years gone by. Amongst others, former All Blacks Jeffery Toomaga-Allen and Steve Luatua have committed to the nation, while also having the immense talents of Theo McFarland, Chris Vui and Alapati Leiua available to the team.
The biggest question that surrounds Seilala Mapusua’s team is how quickly they align themselves with one another. It will no doubt be a challenge, but you have to believe that players of that calibre will be capable of combining aptly.
Under the guidance of New Zealander Crowley, Italy really seem to have turned a corner. As you may remember, the Italians did beat Wales on the final weekend of the Six Nations and in their summer campaign did beat Portugal and Romania, before falling short against Georgia.
Part of what makes the team so impressive is how the majority of players under 25 are already integral. Their captain, Michele Lamaro, is 24, their fly-half, Paolo Garbisi, is 22 and their electric full-back, Ange Capuozzo, 23. This will be a massively engaging game.
