Italy captain Michele Lamaro was on his knees, arms wide, as if to say, “What happened?” What happened was he’d just been mugged by Manuel Ardao.
On the TV commentary he was called Uruguay’s “Michael Hooper.” Italy assistant coach Marius Goosen likened Ardao to another Australia great, David Pocock.
The effort was no fluke. In Uruguay’s tournament opener against France, Ardao got three turnovers, an impressive amount any day. When Uruguay last played Italy in 2021, the socks-down flanker got three of their four turnovers in a 17-10 loss. He jackalled Italy hooker Giacomo Nicotera in the ninth minute. Lamaro was next, even while Ardao had Nicotera and Juan Ignacio Brex smothering him.
