    Italian team for the weekend

    Marcato starts for Azzuri against Oz

    As expected, Italy coach Nick Mallett has switched around his team for the forthcoming test against Australia in Padova on Saturday.

    Mallett has abandoned his experiment of using centre Andrea Massi at fly-half, which he had done during this year's Six Nations, but instead of switching him back into the midfield, the South African has picked the Biarritz player at full-back.

    Another centre Mirco Bergamasco of Stade Francais switches to the left wing as Calvisano's Gonzalo Garcia, who has just two caps to his name, comes into the centre to partner Gonzalo Canale.

    Treviso's Andrea Marcato gets another start at fly-half while Pablo Canavosio of Viadana comes in at number 9.

    It is in the pack that Italy are at their strongest and they will once again be captained by Stade Francais number 8 Sergio Parisse, who is one of four France-based players in the forwards alongside Mauro Bergamasco, Marco Bortolami and Salvatore Perugini.

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
