I was writing about how I'd love to see Masi at centre and, here we are, probably Brunel reads therugbyforum.com

Here is Italy lineup:

Italia: 15 Luke McLean, 14 Leonardo Sarto, 13 Luca Morisi, 12 Andrea Masi, 11 Giambattista Venditti, 10 Kelly Haimona, 9 Edoardo Gori, 8 Sergio Parisse, 7 Mauro Bergamasco, 6 Francesco Minto, 5 George Biagi, 4 Marco Bortolami, 3 Martin Castrogiovanni, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini, 1 Andrea De Marchi
Riserva: 16 Andrea Manici, 17 Matias Aguero, 18 Dario Chistolini, 19 Josh Furno, 20 Samuela Vunisa, 21 Guglielmo Palazzani, 22 Tommaso Allan, 23 Giulio Bisegni

Big changes, I am very happy to see Masi at 12 and McLean at 15, defenitely their natural position. Good coming back for Venditti, with Sarto, at least, we're showing two real wings.
Still Haimona at 10, let's see, I'm not a big fan of him at flyhalf.
Zanni's 6 Nation is over, he's in doubt for RWC too (and it would be a disaster for us) and since Barbieri and Favaro are not fit we have to play with BergaMauro at 7. Sure yellow card.
Second row. We recover Bortolami, the only one who handles our lineouts. His missing with Ireland showed how much we lack in that phase if he's not on the pitch. He's our Matfield
Don't know if Castro could display another good game after the very hard one of last week, anyway Chistolini is really not bad (While we're waiting for Cittadini's call-up).
Out Aguero, De Marchi in. He needs to become the 2013 player, otherwise he's not very useful.
