Le Cicero out of Italy line-up

Italy coach Pierre Berbizier has dropped Andrea Lo Cicero in favour of Fabio Ongaro in his team for the RBS 6 Nations opener against Ireland.

Lo Cicero is a vastly-experienced prop with 49 caps but has been named as one of the replacements at Lansdowne Road on Saturday when Ongaro will play alongside Carlos Nieto in the front row.
