33 players have been chosen. Bigi and Zani meet again. First call for Simone Gesi
Six Nations 2022: Italy, the squad for the matches against Scotland and Wales (Ph. Sebastiano Pessina)
In view of the last two games of the Six Nations 2022, Kieran Crowley has announced the list of 33 called up for the matches that will see the Azzurri receive Scotland and visit Wales.
To replace Lucchesi, injured, and Faiva, waiting to understand how long he will be disqualified, the coach has chosen to call in the hookers slot, the returning Luca Bigi and Federico Zani. On the subject of recoveries, on the other hand, we point out the good conditions of Fuser and Negri, who have overcome the concussions suffered, and of Braley, Capuozzo and Da Re, struggling with other problems, which have however been disposed of; there is also Varney.
Among the wings / extremes there is also the first call for the Colorno trocar Simone Gesi, who had already played in Italy Emerging during the match played against Romania A last December in Parma.
It should be noted – at the moment – that Sergio Parisse is missing from the list of selected, compared to what he learned in recent months, when it was said that the number 8 in force at Toulon could have ended his career in blue in the home match against Scotland.
