Italy Shuffles Squad for Six Nations Showdown

Italy has made strategic changes to its squad ahead of the crucial Six Nations match against France this Sunday. Scrumhalf Stephen Varney, unfortunately, has not recovered from his injury and will miss the clash.

Martin Page-Relo makes his return following an injury that sidelined him for the opening two matches against Scotland and Ireland. He steps in for Varney, aiming to bolster the team's performance.

Additionally, centre Giulio Bertaccini joins the squad, with Juan Ignacio Brex staying absent due to personal matters. The Italian Rugby Federation announced that Varney will continue rehabilitation with his club and Italian medical staff.
