Conor O'Shea has made four changes
for the Italy side to face Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday
from the 15 that lost 40-18 to France at the Olimpico at the
weekend.
Italy are destined to get the wooden spoon but are hoping for
their first win in the last game in this year's Six Nations
after heavy defeats to Wales, Ireland and England.
They will be looking to repeat their win from two years ago
when they beat the Scots 22-19 on their home turf - their only
win in the 2015 tournament.
Tommaso Benvenuti comes in for the injured Michele Campagnaro
at second centre, Maxime Mbandà starts in place of the
unavailable Simone Favaro in the back row, George Biagi replaces
Dries Van Schalkwyk in the second row and Ornel Gega comes in as
hooker in place of Leonardo Ghiraldini.
Here's the Italy squad: Padovani; Esposito, Benvenuti,
McLean, Venditti; Canna, Gori; Parisse, Steyn, Mbandà; Biagi,
Fuser; Cittadini, Gega, Lovotti. Subs: Ghiraldini, Panico,
Chistolini, Van Schalkwyk, Ruzza, Minto, Violi, Sperandio.
