In a moment of good sportsmanship, Wales wing Josh Adams gave his Man of the Match medal to Italy fullback Ange Capuozzo after the 22-year-old created the game-winning try in Cardiff.
Despite ending up on the wrong side of a historic Six Nations result, Adams was named Man of the Match as Italy stunned Wales for a first win in the tournament since 2015.
However, while Italy were celebrating after the match, the Welshman went up to Test rookie Capuozzo and offered him his medal.
Sportsmanship at it’s finest ?

Capuozzo created the match-winning try at the death when, after receiving the ball inside his own half, he sidestepped several tacklers and passed on his inside to wing Eduardo Padovani.
It had to be done, it’s too perfect.
