There was plenty of talent on show, players upping their game even though it was a friendly game.
The standout player for the Italians was flyhalf Carna Carlo. The way he was marshalling the backline was impressive and he showed he has an impeccable boot, kicking in three conversions and two penalties. "There are so many players that don't get an opportunity. By bringing them here, those guys get exposure and opportunity," Stonehouse, who coaches Pumas who won the Currie Cup last weekend, said.
"Siya Masuku, I don't know where he's going to end up. He was at my union for a week and now he's gone and playing brilliant rugby. I made a mistake."
