Gonzalo Quesada makes seven changes to his Azzurri side that took on England, the eye-catching one is the captain, Michele Lamaro, being benched. Manuel Zuliani comes in to replace him, while the experienced centre Juan Ignacio Brex will skipper the side.
Giacomo Nicotera and Niccolo Cannone also drop to the bench, as does Ross Vintcent, despite his try at Twickenham, replaced at No 8 by Lorenzo Cannone. Gotta have a Cannone in there, it seems. Tommaso Allan slots back in at full-back.
