Matteo Retiring at 27
« on: February 22, 2024, 11:26:15 AM »
BREAKING: Mateo Minozzi announces his retirement from rugby at the age of just 27.

Minozzi burst onto the scene at the 2018 Six Nations when he was nominated for Player of the Championship.

The hot stepper moved to Wasps a year later and then to Benetton in 2022.

Sad to hear. He seemed to suffer terribly from injuries and the Covid lockdowns appeared to hit him hard mentally as well.

I wish him well in whatever he does next.

His eye injury, though not I understand to be rugby related, would have been enough to put the wind up anyone.

Wish him well, a shame.

On his day he was electric. Suspect that without the injuries he could have been even better - imagine him adding value to the resurgent Azzurri now.

Go well, Matteo.

Also, btw, forza Italia! What a performance yesterday.

Maybe he will be happy with Italy's win over Scotland, tho' in good circumstances he would have been playing in it.  Italy  ....   CONGRATULATIONS!  (One of my 2 favourite teams)  At last, a lovely 6-Nations win.
