Massive blow for the Azzuri losing their talisman.
Italy captain Sergio Parisse is set to miss the Six Nations after suffering a knee ligament injury.
The 26-year-old Stade Francais player sustained the injury in training ahead of Saturday's Test against Samoa and faces up to six months out.
"The possibility of surgery can't be excluded, which would have a recovery time of around 120 to 180 days," said team doctor Roberto Pozzoni.[/b]
