Six Nations 2022: Emotional Menoncello imitates on historic Italy attempt

The expressive Tommaso Menoncello expectations his historic attempt against Italy in the first round of the 2022 Guinness Six Nations will be the first of many. The Azzurri may have lost 37-10 to France in Paris, but they took the lead middle through the first half after Menoncello, 19, made his debut as the youngest league goal scorer in 55 years at Les Bleus.

Emotional Tommaso Menoncello hopes his historic attempt against Italy

Federico Ruzza put the ball on the line 22 minutes after French fullback Melvyn Jaminet hit a high ball, and a few stages later, Paolo Garbisi’s perfect cross was swept away by May. Menoncello caught him, he somehow kept his toes in play and fell to the ground after a penalty corner.

It is a testament to athleticism and ability to balance under pressure, with the teen ecstatic to make such a convincing effort and eager to use it as a springboard.

"It was really exciting to score in my first game," he said. "I thought about a lot of things: how to catch the ball, the moment I saw the cross, how not to give in.

"My U20 teammates and everyone who has allowed me here I dedicate this effort to my family.

"Of course, I really hope my career in Italy will belong, it's just a starting point for me. I was really excited to try it, but was disappointed with the end result."
