Berbizier changes trio

8 March 2007, 4:11 pm

Italy head coach Pierre Berbizier has made three changes to his starting line-up for Saturday's fourth RBS 6 Nations encounter at home to Wales.

Berbizier has in the main kept faith with the side that secured the Azzurris first ever away win in the RBS 6 Nations against Scotland at Murrayfield a fortnight ago, but has tinkered slightly - partly due to injuries.

Ramiro Pez is preferred at fly-half to Andrea Scanavacca, while the enforced changes see winger Matteo Pratichetti replace Andrea Masi and Carlos Nieto come in for prop Martin Castrogiovanni.

Italy team to play Wales in the RBS 6 Nations Championship at the Stadio Flaminio on Saturday, March 10:

R De Marigny (Calvisano); K Robertson (Viadana), G Canale (Clermont Auvergne) Mirco Bergamasco (Stade Francais), M Pratichetti (Calvisano), R Pez (Bayonne), A Troncon (Clermont Auvergne); S Parisse (Stade Francais), Mauro Bergamasco (Stade Francais), A Zanni (Calvisano), M Bortolami (Gloucester), S Dellape (Biarritz), C Nieto (Gloucester) 2 C Festuccia (GRAN Parma), A Lo Cicero (LAquila).

Replacements: L Ghiraldini (Calvisano), S Perugini (Toulouse) F Staibano (Overmach Parma), V Bernabo (Calvisano), M Zaffiri (Calvisano), P Griffen (Calvisano) A Scanavacca (Calvisano).
