Thumping win by Italy over Namibia marred by injuries to Riccioni, Marin
WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — Italy warmed up for its two rugby tests against world champion South Africa by thrashing Namibia 73-6 on Friday. The margin was Italy's biggest in a test away from home, eclipsing the 61-point difference against Portugal in 1996. Fullback Jacopo Trulla scored three of Italy's 11 tries. The victory was marred by injuries to tighthead prop Marco Riccioni and inside center Leonardo Marin. Riccioni was taken off on a stretcher after the first maul, which was collapsed and led to a penalty try. Marin appeared to suffer a shin injury. Italy next meet the Springboks in Pretoria on July 5. ___ AP rugby:

Italy international Riccioni extends Sarries deal
Italy international prop Marco Riccioni has signed a new contract with Premiership club Saracens. The 27-year-old has made 55 appearances for the club and won one Premiership title since moving to north London from Benetton in 2021. He has played in 11 of Saracens league games this season, with Mark McCall's side sixth in the table going into their final match of the regular season against Bath. "I arrived four years ago having dreamed of playing for this club since I started my career," he told Saracens' website. "When I joined, I understood that I was part of something bigger than just a club. I have always felt part of a big family that had my back so I'm very excited to continue my journey here." Riccioni has 33 caps since making his debut for Italy in 2019 and has represented the Azzurri in four Six Nations Championships and two Rugby World Cups.
