[QUOTE="danit, post: 154953"] hard to say Deano, there's full of youngsters in this team (former "A" team now "emerging azzurri", in perfect Boks style: Nick Mallet is there...) most of them are fully italian, italian born or btw completely formed in Italy, except the argentinian born Gonzalo Padrò (Padrò family: 5 brothers, all of them playing rugby in Italy, all of them argentinian born), Ramos Viassolo and Hector Franco Sbaraglini, the NZ born Lance Persico and the SA born Mark Riva among these "foreign born" only Padrò (class '83) has an intersting potential: he was picked by Biarritz last year, he played some games too but he has some characterial limits, too shy and not aggressive enough, so he came back to Italy, we gotta wait to see if he can really explore his potential there are some others very interesting players: some of them came from the U21 national squad and some of them can still play for this team backs actually I'd say to keep more than one eye on Giulio Rubini (class '87), great personality, some phisical limits to play at fullback (only 1,75cm and 75 kg) but you know, the kind of player who could remind you Thomas Castagneide very intersting also Patrizio (85), Sgarbi (86) and Duca (87) Sepe (class '86) is well known, he already played some internations for the national team and for 7s, he scored a nice try in Super10 last saturday taking Rome to an unexpected win in Calvisano forwards: lots of interesting yougsters: De Marchi (86), Derbyshire (86), Giovanchelli (86), Tveraga (86) and Reato too (even if not too young: class ''84) , all of them with a huge potential [/QUOTE]
