The reason why Tommaso Allan has put his Italy Test career on hold

Recent Italy pick Tommaso Allan has decided to put his Test career on hold. The Perpignan player was a starter at full-back in the opening round of the Guinness Six Nations versus England in Rome on February 3 and his converted 25th-minute try helped his team into a 17-8 lead.

The Azzurri were eventually beaten 24-27 at Stadio Olimpico, and Allan was then an unused sub for last Sunday’s 0-36 round two loss to Ireland in Dublin.

That idleness has now resulted in the French-based player’s decision to take a break from international duty and he wasn’t named in the squad of 33 that will assemble in Rome next Sunday ahead of the February 25 round three fixture away to France in Lille.

Allan, who started all four of Italy’s recent 2023 Rugby World Cup pool matches when Kieran Crowley was still in charge, reportedly wrote on social media: “This decision was not easy to make. It was a very tiring year physically and mentally.

“Being away from my family for months only made things harder. The decision was made for my well-being and that of the team. Thank you as always for your continued support. Forza Italia.”

In a statement confirming Italy’s round three squad, reference was made to the discussions that had taken place between Allan and new Italy coach Gonzalo Quesada following the round two loss in Ireland.

“The Italian coach, after a discussion with the player after the match in Dublin, has decided by mutual agreement with him not to select Tommaso Allan for the third day of the championship. The Perpignan player has asked to observe a period of rest from his international activity.”

Quesada said: “Tommaso is an excellent professional and, more importantly, a person of unquestionable value.

“The men, even before the athletes, are at the centre of our evaluations and that is why, after discussing with Tommaso and fully understanding his needs, we decided together with him for an additional rest period.”

Just a year ago, I found myself in a financial abyss. A wrong investment decision had cost me $500,000—money that took me years to build through sweat, sacrifice, and relentless effort. It wasn’t just the loss that hurt; it was the hopelessness that followed. My business stalled, debts piled up, and the weight of my failure crushed me. I had trusted a too-good-to-be-true investment in a startup that promised high returns through speculative AI-driven trading. Blinded by optimism, I ignored red flags and poured in my entire savings. Within months, the company collapsed due to mismanagement and fraudulent activities. By the time I realized the truth, my funds were gone, and legal action seemed futile. In the midst of my despair, I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a rising name in ethical AI-driven financial solutions. Unlike the reckless investment schemes that had ruined me, they focused on transparency, sustainability, and responsible financial technology. Their mission was clear: leveraging AI to empower individuals ethically, not exploit them. With little to lose, I reached out to their team, expecting corporate indifference. Instead, I was met with genuine concern. A financial consultant from Galaxy Ethical Tech, Emma, walked me through their AI-driven Financial Recovery Program—a system designed to help individuals rebuild their finances through personalized investment strategies, risk analysis, and income diversification. I started small. Their AI-powered investment assistant analyzed my risk tolerance, market trends, and ethical investment opportunities that aligned with long-term sustainability and financial health. Instead of high-risk, speculative trades, it guided me toward steady, impact-driven investments—in sectors like renewable energy, ethical tech startups, and blockchain solutions with real-world utility. One of their groundbreaking features was the Galaxy Adaptive Portfolio, an AI-powered system that adjusted investments dynamically based on real-time market data, ensuring I never fell into the trap of emotional, impulsive decisions again. More importantly, their fraud detection system educated me on red flags, ensuring I never repeated my past mistakes. Beyond investments, their AI-driven freelancing and gig economy integration connected me with short-term, high-paying opportunities tailored to my expertise. Within months, I had a steady stream of income that helped me regain financial confidence. Within a year, I wasn’t just recovering—I was thriving. My portfolio had grown steadily, my debts were under control, and my financial mindset had transformed. More than just money, I had regained my self-worth, knowing I had made decisions rooted in ethics, sustainability, and intelligence. Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just help me recover from financial ruin—they empowered me to build a smarter, more resilient financial future. My $500,000 mistake no longer defined me. Instead, it became the foundation of a new journey—one built on wisdom, responsibility, and ethical technology. Now, as I stand on stable ground again, I share my story to remind others: financial ruin is not the end. With the right technology, the right guidance, and the right mindset, recovery is not just possible—it’s inevitable.
