Le demi d’ouverture Tommaso Allan est le joueur le plus expérimenté de l’équipe d’Italie qui se rendra en France pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023.

Allan, qui peut également jouer arrière, participera à sa troisième Coupe du Monde de Rugby après avoir représenté les Azzurri en Angleterre en 2015 et au Japon en 2019.

Luca Morisi est le seul autre trois-quarts à compter une expérience des tournois passés, tandis que sept des avants ont joué lors de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2019. Il s’agit de Simone Ferrari, Danilo Fischetti, Marco Riccioni, Federico Ruzza, David Sisi et Sebastian Negri.

Cet effectif comprend deux paires de frères avec les Garbisi, Paolo et Alessandro, et les Cannone, Niccolò et Lorenzo.

Kieran Crowley, l’entraîneur d’origine néo-zélandaise qui quittera son poste à l’issue de la Coupe du monde en France et sera remplacé par l’Argentin Gonzalo Quesada, a retenu 16 joueurs de Trévise, et 24 joueurs qui disputeront pour la première fois un tournoi mondial. La moyenne d’âge du groupe est de 26 ans et demi.

Six joueurs de l’effectif évoluent en France : Pietro Ceccarelli et Tommaso Allan à Perpignan, Martin Page-Relo et Monty Ioane à Lyon, Paolo Garbisi à Montpellier et Ange Capuozzo à Toulouse.

Capuozzo a disputé samedi 19 août face à la Roumanie (57-7) son premier match depuis sa blessure à une omoplate le 25 février lors de la défaite de l’Italie contre l’Irlande (34-20) dans le cadre du Tournoi des six nations. Contre les Roumains, l’arrière/ailier de Toulouse (24 ans, 11 sélections) a inscrit deux essais.

« Ce qui a guidé nos choix, c’est la capacité des joueurs retenus de pouvoir occuper plusieurs postes, cela élargit nos possibilités », a expliqué le sélectionneur dans un communiqué de la Fédération italienne de rugby (FIR).

Dans la poule A de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023, l’Italie affrontera la France, la Nouvelle-Zélande, la Namibie et l’Uruguay.

Avants : Pietro Ceccarelli (Perpignan/FRA), Simone Ferrari (Benetton Trévise), Danilo Fischetti (Zebre Parme), Ivan Nemer (Benetton Trévise), Marco Riccioni (Saracens/ENG) Federico Zani (Benetton Trévise), Luca Bigi (Zebre Parme), Epalahame Faiva (sans club), Giacomo Nicotera (Benetton Trévise), Niccolò Cannone (Benetton Trévise), Dino Lamb (Harlequins/ENG), Federico Ruzza (Benetton Trévise), David Sisi ((Zebre Parme), Lorenzo Cannone (Benetton Trévise), Toa Halafihi (Benetton Trévise), Michele Lamaro (Benetton Trévise/capitaine), Sebastian Negri (Benetton Trévise), Giovanni Pettinelli (Benetton Trévise), Manuel Zuliani (Benetton Trévise).

Arrières : Alessandro Fusco (Zebre Parme), Alessandro Garbisi (Benetton Trévise), Martin Page-Relo (LOU/FRA), Stephen Varney (Gloucester/ENG), Tommaso Allan (Perpignan/FRA), Giacomo Da Re (Benetton Trévise), Paolo Garbisi (Montpellier/FRA), Juan Ignacio Brex (Benetton Trévise), Luca Morisi (sans club), Pierre Bruno (Zebre Parme), Ange Capuozzo (Stade toulousain/FRA), Monty Ioane (LOU/FRA), Paolo Odogwu (Benetton Trévise), Lorenzo Pani (Zebre Parme).

I got a call from a trader for the first time in August 2024. Less than a year later, through a fabricated process of baiting me with unbelievable profits, and matching my losses, I was in over $185,000. The platform had assigned my personal broker to me, that called me from time to time to tell me about their new offers. And they said he was one of their top brokers, they further told me the broker had made a lot of people so rich. The broker told me there was an insurance that they get on them, every trade that we do that's secured and we could never lose money, he will put in there that it's an insured secure trade, and they buy the insurance for it. so i was assured, I won't lose any money on if we lose. Okay? But the catch is, you have to bring in an additional $25,000 in order to get that secured trade status on your account. I stupidly did this. Once I hit a certain profit level, I tried to remove money from them. That's when they denied me being able to take out my own money. They also told me to pay an additional fee to bring out my money. I was blocked out of my accounts and denied withdrawal even after i contacted them in various ways. Of course they never told me that additional of $25k from the beginning. So when I heard that, then it was pretty obvious to me that they were running a scam.I was very sad and confused after investing a lot. Earlier this year February 15th 2025, i was able to get my invested capital back including profit and the $25k additional fees with the help of the INTELLIGENCE CYBER WIZARD Assets Recovery (You can contact them below). They offer the best in monetary recovery if you are victim of cryptocurrency fraud, binary options fraud, real estate Investment fraud and many more.

Duhan van der Merwe's Lions tour thrown into doubt

I hope I'm not too late to share this. I won $2 million in the WESTERN MAX LOTTERY with the help of an online spell caster named Meduza. I reached out to him on WhatsApp at this number +1 (807) 907-2687, saying, "I need a lottery spell," after reading positive comments about his spellcasting online. Meduza explained the process to me, and I agreed to his terms, which were reasonable. It took him 48 hours to prepare the spell, and then he sent me the lucky numbers for the WESTERN MAX LOTTERY, which I followed carefully. To my amazement, on March 4th, 2025, I checked and discovered that I had won $2 million at the store where I purchased my ticket. My heart is full of JOY and I want to take this opportunity to thank Meduza for his assistance. Meduza also offers spells for other issues like rekindling relationships, healing illnesses, spells to become successful in life and gaining promotions at work, among other things. You can also contact him by email at: lordmeduzatemple @ hotmail . com

'Caelan Doris... I’m not sure he gets in the Lions back row at the moment'

Doris didn’t play that well though, while other number 8’s really shone. Hell Conan made more impact during his minutes than Doris. It doesn’t matter how well Ireland did. Example - Sale lost to Toulouse last weekend, but Ben Curry was phenomenal despite losing.

Don’t judge a player on 5 games is my opinion, class is permanent. Doris does need some good games between now and the end of the season though.

Duhan van der Merwe's Lions tour thrown into doubt

As a truck driver who spends long hours on the road, I understand the value of hard work. My job demands long shifts, constant focus, and time away from loved ones. To make extra income during my limited downtime, I started mining cryptocurrency. After months of dedication, I finally saved enough to buy BITCOIN through P2P on Binance. It felt like a major milestone. I was proud of what I had built, turning my effort into BITCOIN, an asset I believed in. That pride quickly turned into heartbreak. Someone I trusted scammed me out of $85,000 worth of BITCOIN in a single transaction. I was crushed. I had sacrificed sleep, missed out on time with friends and family, and worked relentlessly, only to have everything taken from me in seconds. The emotional and financial blow was devastating. Still, I was not ready to give up. I started researching ways to recover stolen BITCOIN and came across TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. I saw countless testimonials from people who had lost cryptocurrency and managed to recover it with their help. Desperate but hopeful, I reached out and shared my story. To my complete shock, TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY managed to trace and recover my stolen BITCOIN within just 21 hours. The funds were safely returned to my wallet. I cannot describe the relief I felt. Months of hard work were not wasted after all. My belief in BITCOIN as a store of value had been shaken, but thanks to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY, I got a second chance. Even more incredible, their team helped law enforcement track down the scammer responsible. That person was arrested, and justice was served. I could finally breathe again, knowing that the person who took advantage of my trust was held accountable. If you have lost BITCOIN or other crypto to a scam, whether through fake investments, phishing schemes, or fraudulent platforms, do not lose hope.

Despite the Croke Park horror show, Marcus Smith shouldn't be discounted from Lions conversation

Taking 2 fly halfs and 2 fullbacks plus Marcus Smith leaves an extra tour spot. Quids in it will be Elliott Daly given his versatility. Personally I’m not a huge fan of his, but for a tour like this he will be ideal given the sheer number of matches. A further centre cum flyhalf (Jordan) isn’t needed as Kinghorn can play 10 as well. Part of me really wants Manu on that plane.

'Caelan Doris... I’m not sure he gets in the Lions back row at the moment'

Farrell comes left field and names Jac Morgan as tour captain…

One problem for Doris currently is the form of Jack Conan. Conan is basically playing anywhere just to get on the pitch and is starting tonight at 8 vs Glasgow.

It’s an interesting thing to consider. Neither Doris nor Itoje are hugely experienced captains, but the argument could be made that Maro has more experience at the top given his amount of international caps and previous Lions involvement.

Both will be leaders in the pack regardless. Whoever is captain has to be a nailed on starter though. It’s not that outlandish to namecheck the current England captain as a potential tour captain really given Farrell only has a few options in front of him.

He’ll be starting second row anyway so surely it’s irrelevant to Oz whether he’s captain or not then?

For sure, but it’s not a reason to trade away a series win in NZ - at least not unless you’re inhabiting an alternate universe!

NZ prob learned more because Schmidt came in, and he was far more familiar with developments in Ireland than any of the local coaches.

They are not opposed points of view FL.

England up to Ireland 2024 tended to kick back rather than return. Their KR improvement coincided with both trhe intro of Furbank at 15, and Felix Jones running a more aggressive form of D.

France are good kick returners, but most of the work on that is done by the coaches at Toulouse and UBB, who have adopted a similar style.

Its the Oz media. They want him as captain with his penalty count and discipline woes. He’d help them no end.

Tinsel has zero rugby IQ but a lot of influential rugby mates. The bloke spouts so much nonsense it’s hilarious to hear, he speaks with such conviction… blinkered and rose tinted conviction, much like most of the English players from his era.
