Italy’s threadbare squad has suffered another blow ahead of their visit to Dublin this Sunday with two players injured at the weekend and forced out of Kieran Crowley’s plans.

The new head coach is set to bring a squad to Aviva Stadium searching for a first Guinness Six Nations win since 2015 and already missing a host of experienced forwards including Marco Fuser, Johan Meyer, Sebastian Negri and Gloucester’s Jake Polledri.
