O'Shea turns to Canna in the absence of injured Allan

Italy’s Carlo Canna

Tommaso Allan’s shoulder injury has handed Carlo Canna the chance to impress when Italy take on France in the Six Nations on Saturday.

Allan dislocated his shoulder during the second half of Italy’s 36-15 defeat to England last time out, a result that leaves Conor O’Shea’s side bottom of the table still waiting for their first point.

With his first-choice fly-half ruled out, O’Shea has turned to Zebre’s Canna  – who replaced Allan against England – to try and dictate the clash with France in Rome, where a bonus-point win would move them level with their opponents.

Canna is one of three changes made by O’Shea, with Angelo Esposito coming in on the wing for Giulio Bisegni and experienced hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini starting ahead of Ornel Gega.

The eyes of the rugby world will be on Italy’s performance after their innovative ‘no-ruck’ tactics at Twickenham that drew the ire of Eddie Jones and perplexed England for the opening 40 minutes.

Eventually England worked out a plan to negate the tactics and finished with a flourish to maintain their unbeaten run.

 

Italy: Edoardo Padovani, Angelo Esposito, Michele Campagnaro, Luke McLean, Giovanballista Venditti, Carlo Canna, Edoardo Gori; Andrea Lovotti, Leonardo Ghiraldini, Lorenzo Cittadini, Marco Fuser, Dries van Scalkwyk, Braam Steyn, Simone Favaro, Sergio Parisse.

Replacements: Tommaso D’Apice, Sami Panico, Dario Chistolini, George Biagi, Maxime Mbanda, Giorgio Bronzini, Tommasso Benvenuti, Luca Sperandio

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
