Francesco Mazzariol and captain Alessandro Troncon return after injury, much to Kirwans delight.

They are fit again at last and I'm happy to call them up, he told www.federugby.it.

When I spoke to Alessandro he appeared to be very happy. This made me very happy and is a boost to the Italian national team.

However, Sergio Parisse, Manuel and Denis Dallan, Christian Stoica, Salvatore Perugini and Andrea Benatti are all missing with knocks.

The Azzurri face Romania on June 26 in Bucharest, and then travel to Tokyo on July 4 to meet Japan.
