Too many injuries, our three best hookers (Ghiraldini, Manici, D'Apice) are all injuried, that's why we have Gega and Giazzon. Not so bad with the props, we have these youngster who are really impressing with Zebre (Lovotti) and Treviso (Zanusso, best player by far for Treviso this year, for what it worths). Second row. We could have called again Bortolami, who's living a very good season again at Zebre this year, we need experience there because Geldenhuys is out injuried and Fuser is simply not an international player yet. Can't understand why Van Schalkwyk is not starting since he's the best backrow we can actually deploy, it's not even the fear of experiments, looking who's starting at 15 and 14. Really don't understand it and like it. Said that I don't think we'll show the worst of us with the forwards, I guess we'll see a good battle here. Gori is a secure choice, no doubt about him. Hope he's recovered from the face injury. And here comes our great hope at fly-half. Mr Carlo Canna. 23 years old, very brave, good hands, attacking attitude and fantasy. Decent defender too.
