Full-back Andrea Masi has withdrawn with a re-occurrence of the injury that kept him out of the match with France in Paris a fortnight ago.

That means winger Gonzalo Canale will move to full-back with replacement Nicola Mazzucato taking a starting berth in the number 14 jersey originally handed to Canale.

Mazzucatos place on the bench is taken by Mirco Bergamasco who comes into the squad of 22 as both sides seek their first win in the 2004 competition.

G Canale (Benetton Treviso); N Mazzucato (Calvisano), C Stoica (Montpellier), M Dallan (Benetton Treviso), D Dallan (Benetton Treviso); R De Marigny (Overmach Rugby Parma), P Griffen (Ghial Calvisano); A Lo Cicero (Lazio & Primavera), F Ongaro (Benetton Treviso), M Castrogiovanni (Ghial Calvisano), S Dellape (Benetton Treviso), M Bortolami (Safilo Petrarca Padova), A De Rossi (Capt, Ghial Calvisano), A Persico (Leeds Tykes), S Parisse (Benetton Treviso).
