Two changes as Italy name team to play England in the Six Nations
By Liam Heagney
Kieran Crowley has named an Italy team to play England this Sunday in the Guinness Six Nations that shows two changes from the XV that gave defending champions France a scare last weekend. The Italians ultimately lost that round one match in Rome 24-29 and their head coach has reacted by making two alterations, one in the backs and another to his pack.
On the wing, Edoardo Padovani, a used replacement last Sunday at the Stadio Olimpico, will now start in the No14 jersey with Pierre Bruno dropping to the bench. In the pack, Marco Riccioni, who plays his club rugby for Saracens, has been included at tighthead.
That decision means Simone Ferrari drops to the bench with Pietro Ceccarelli omitted from the match day 23. The other Italy change on a Six Nations bench containing six forwards and two backs is the inclusion of the Gloucester-based Jake Polledri at the expense of Giovanni Pettinelli.
Polledri hasn't been capped since suffering a horrendous knee injury when playing for the Italians in the 2020 Autumn Nations Series.

The purpose of the MP team is surely to benefit all parties involved.
This includes fostering a Pasifika base that can strengthen Tonga, Samoa, and the All Blacks. These goals are not mutually exclusive.
The claim of a "real purpose" seems like subterfuge for a self-centered agenda—insisting that NZ Rugby should bear all the sacrifices and reap none of the benefits.
If Seilala Mapusua believed the idea was different—thankfully, we don't live in a world where personal opinions override mutually agreed legal and policy commitments.
NZ Rugby is not a charitable organization. Its primary purpose should always be to benefit NZ Rugby. If it can assist others, that’s great, but it should not be held hostage to external demands.
Also, this is international rugby, not interracial rugby. The players in question are NZ-born, bred, and developed. The notion that NZ Rugby would agree to refrain from selecting NZ players who wish to represent New Zealand is not worth serious consideration.

I fell victim to a bitcoin fraud two months ago, where a scammer took $124,700 from my Cash App account. I was devastated. I made an independent attempt to retrieve it. I went online and read articles about getting my bitcoin back, there platform appeared legitimate, offered large profits, and had a polished appearance—until it wasn't. When they refused to allow me withdraw any of my money after I had invested a sizable amount of my cash, I knew I had been duped.
