Italy make key changes for showdown against New Zealand

NICE, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 20: Stephen Varney of Italy warms up whilst wearing a Rugby World Cup France 2023 "Keep Rugby Clean" Anti-Doping warm-up shirt prior to the Rugby World Cup France 2023 match between Italy and Uruguay at Stade de Nice on September 20, 2023 in Nice, France.

Italy have named their team for the upcoming Pool A match against New Zealand at OL Stadium in Lyon on Friday, 29 September.

The starting XV sees Dino Lamb, Stephen Varney, and Luca Morisi join the lineup, with Niccolo Cannone moving to the bench, while Alessandro Garbisi and Lorenzo Pani are omitted.

Lamb replaces Niccolo Cannone in the second-row, boasting a try in two of his three career starts.

Varney partners with Paolo Garbisi at scrum-half, marking their sixth appearance together this year.

Luca Morisi returns to the midfield after his 47-minute performance against Namibia, facing the All Blacks for the first time since 2018.

Tommaso Allan takes the full-back position, with Paolo Garbisi at fly-half. Allan aims to become Italy’s all-time leading Rugby World Cup point-scorer, needing just five more points.

No player in the squad has ever scored against the All Blacks since Tommaso Boni in 2016.

Paolo Garbisi leads Italy at RWC 2023 in carries (31) and shares the top spot for defenders beaten (7) and try assists (2), underlining his crucial role in the team.

A pity for Italy that they didn't blood Page-Relo a bit more, especially against Uruguay where Garbisi did an awful game in my opinion. He's been incredible for Toulouse and I'm sure he could bring some serious speed to Italy, that's what they lack the most.

To me he could have been the true revelation for Italy as well as Odogwu who would fully deserve to be in the starting 15.


As a neutral I don't have much hope but what an upset this game could provide!!

‘We’ve got some work to do’: Blues coach reacts to Ta’avao’s blunder

SAM NOCK'S blunder in fact. He just needed to step into touch. Game over. That said, the vets were terrible, late in the game. Riccitelli conceding 2 mindless b2b penalties & Paddy stupidly blocking a kick chaser, just kept the Force alive. An unconvincing win to be fair.

21-point win sees Blues leapfrog Force into playoff contention

I fight fires for a living, it's in my blood as a volunteer firefighter. But nothing could have prepared me for the fire that almost reduced my family's future to ashes. I had secretly accumulated $150,000 worth of Bitcoin over the years, intending to lock up my children's education and provide my wife with some leeway from our constant shift-work life. That was until a phishing attack struck me while I was out fighting a wildfire. The call had been on a hot afternoon. We were dashing to contain wildfires tearing across parched scrub lands. At such frantic moments, my phone pulsed with a security alert message from what looked like my Bitcoin wallet operator. Drenched with sweat, fatigue, and hyper adrenaline, I had clicked on the link and input my log-ins without questioning anything. I was tricked by hackers during my most vulnerable time. Hours later, returning to the station, I emptied my wallet. The harsh reality hit me with more force than any fire could ever have. My carefully saved safety net had vanished. My heart beat faster than the sirens. I felt as though I had failed my family. I explained my terror of burgers at our favorite local diner that evening to my friend. He leaned in close and whispered a single word: Digital Hack Recovery. He swore by their effectiveness, stating they worked miracles when his cousin had crypto stolen from him in a scam. I was skeptical old-school and desperate, so I called them. From the first call, their team treated me like family. They didn't only view figures; they viewed a husband and a father attempting to rectify a horrific error. They labored day and night, following stolen money through blockchain transactions like l detectives. Progress was made every day, translating intricate tech into fireman-speak. Ten days later, I got the call. “We recovered your Bitcoin.” I cried. Right there in the station, surrounded by smoke-stained gear, I let it all out. Relief. Gratitude. Hope they don't stop there. Knowing I worked in emergency services, Digital Hack Recovery offered to run an online security workshop for my entire fire department. They turned my disaster into a lesson that safeguarded my team. These folks don’t just recover wallets; they rebuild lives. They rebuilt mine. I fight fires for a living, it's in my blood as a volunteer firefighter.

Tusi Pisi confirms Manu Samoa coaching team and captain

I remember the moment clearly staring at my empty wallet, heart sinking, hands clammy. My Bitcoin was gone. It had vanished into the digital void after I mistakenly clicked on a convincing phishing link. Weeks of saving, investing, and watching the market  gone in seconds. I tried everything contacted my wallet provider, scoured forums, filed reports. Nothing worked. Everyone told me the same thing: “Once it’s gone, it’s gone.”  I was on the verge of giving up when I came across a thread mentioning NanoAethosCoinRecovery. It sounded too good to be true like every other so called “recovery service”, but something about the way people described their professionalism gave me a sliver of hope. I reached out, expecting radio silence or empty promises. Instead, I got a prompt reply. They were direct, transparent, and cautious not promising miracles, but laying out a clear process. They asked for all relevant details, conducted a blockchain forensic analysis, and traced the stolen coins through layers of obfuscation and mixing. NanoAethosCoinRecovery didn’t just recover my Bitcoin they restored my faith in justice in the crypto world. I learned a hard lesson, but thanks to them, it didn’t end in defeat. Now, I triple-check every link I click, but I also know who to turn to if things go south again.

It’s difficult at best and odious at worst to make comparisons between the SH competition and their NH counterparts but while not at all definitive, what might be interesting is that last time out Scotland beat the Fijians by 40 points.

Yup - he was at Bishops and Nick Mallett has a deep connection with that school both as an old boy and that his brother was headmaster when Sasha first came to light in junior school rugby. I think Nick did all he could to make sure he would stay.
