Italy Autumn Internationals Squad 2021
Kieran Crowley has announced his 34-man Italy squad for the autumn Internationals after being appointed head coach in May.
Crowley replaced Franco Smith in the set-up, with Smith becoming head of high performance. These autumn Internationals fixtures will be their first runout under the new coaching staff, so it will be interesting to see how the Azzurri go against New Zealand, Argentina and Uruguay.
Four uncapped players have been selected, including Benetton’s Ivan Nemer, while the experienced Michele Campagnaro and Marco Fuser have been recalled.
“We want to create a strong team identity and playing in cities like Rome, Treviso and Parma, places that have a strong rugby roots in the area, will be an important factor in working towards our goals and facing the next opponents in the best possible way,” said Crowley.
“Making our debut against the All Blacks at the Olympic Stadium with the presence of our audience will have a special flavour.”
