Italy captain Michele Lamaro joins Rugby Union Weekly ahead of the 2026 Six Nations to discuss Italy’s growing belief, the shift from competing to truly thinking they can win, and the rising expectation driven by Benetton and Zebre’s domestic form. He reflects on how the team’s mindset has changed - from hoping to stay close to knowing they can beat top nations when performance peaks.

Lamaro also talks about his Olympic‑sport family background, his father’s legacy as a two‑time Olympic sailor, and the pride of carrying the torch at the Winter Games. He underlines Italy’s focus on performance, the importance of getting into the final 20 minutes with a chance, and the excitement of opening against Scotland, a team they’ve beaten before. And he reveals the Italian classic he’d want played if he scored a match‑winner in Rome.

📱 Follow the Six Nations across on the BBC Sport app, iPlayer and Sounds.
