Italy team to play Scotland shows two changes from Ireland loss
By Kim Ekin
Kieran Crowley has named an Italy team to face Scotland this Saturday in Rome that contains two injury-enforced changes from their 57-6 Guinness Six Nations round three loss to Ireland in Dublin on February 27.
The Azzurri coach was forced to make alterations at scrum-half and hooker for the round four match at Stadio Olimpico. Stephen Varney has been replaced at No9 by Callum Braley while Giacomo Nicotera is included in the front row in place of Gianmarco Lucchesi.
Lucchesi's injury at hooker was followed by the red carding of sub Hame Faiva which resulted in the scrums going uncontested in Dublin and reducing the Italy team to just 13 players.
Crowley said: “We face a team that has shown its worth in previous outings of the tournament. We have the opportunity to play in front of our fans: we want to turn the page and react on the pitch with an important performance.”

Go to commentsHello, I'm Jack Frampton from San Antonio, Texas. I want to share my story of how I fell victim to a crypto Ponzi scheme when I came across a phony website pretending to be a genuine crypto exchange, I never knew they created a fake exchange page where their victims deposit cryptos in the hope of their huge profits unknowingly that they were being conned. Morphohack Cyber Service made me realize that I was a victim of these scams after I contacted them when this same exchange website refused to let me withdraw my crypto funds. I was devastated and contacted Morphohack Cyber Service who was able to recover my crypto funds and told me about this scam. I would advise people out there to be more careful and do their due diligence before investing in crypto.
