Berbizier rings changes for Wales clash

9 March 2006, 2:45 pm

Italy coach Pierre Berbizier has made three changes to his starting line-up for the RBS 6 Nations Championship clash against Wales in Cardiff.

Full-back Cristian Stoica is omitted for Saturday in favour of Overmach Parmas Ezio Galan in a solitary switch behind the scrum following the 37-12 defeat against France a fortnight ago.

Up front, injured Stade Francais flanker Mauro Bergamasco is replaced by Maurizio Zaffiri - with Agen lock Santiago Dellape returning to the second row instead of Carlo Del Fava.

Both Stoica and Del Fava are on the bench as Italy look for a first victory in this seasons tournament.
