PARMA (Reuters) - Italy earned their first win for more than two years by beating Uruguay 17-10 in Parma on Saturday, as Pierre Bruno and Epalahame Faiva both scored tries on their debuts.

The Azzurri’s last victory came against Canada at the Rugby World Cup in September 2019, and the win over the Uruguayans ended a 16-match losing run since then.
