ITALY
ITALY have named a 32- man squad ahead of their opening round match against tournament hosts Wales.
Alessandro Garbisi, the younger brother of Italy fly-half Paolo, is one notable inclusion in the Azzurrini squad named by Massimo Brunello as a scrum-half option.
Italy came away from Wales as 17-7 victors in last year’s competiton and have warmed up for the Six Nations with two matches against a France XV, narrowly losing both contests.
