Was Italy going to play the game by fielding its best team against the All Blacks? The answer is yes ! Kieran Crowley decided to slide Tommaso Allan, author of a 100% against the poles since the start of the competition, to the back. Paolo Garbisi returns to his position as opener. Ange Capuozzo therefore slides to the wing, while Luca Morisi appears in the center just like Stephen Varney at the scrum.

Starting XV: Allan – Capuozzo, Brex, Morisi, Ioane – Garbisi (o), Varney (m) – Lamaro, Cannone, Negri – Ruzza, Lamb – Riccioni, Nicotera, Fischetti.

Substitutes: Faiva, Nemer, Ferrari, N. Cannone, Zuliani, Halafihi, Page-Relo, Odogwu.
