Italy fly-half Craig Gower could miss next year's Six Nations Championship after being told he needs surgery on knee ligaments.
The former Australia rugby league international was injured in Italy's recent 32-14 defeat by Argentina.
"His recovery time is estimated at 120 to 180 days," said an Italian Rugby Federation statement.
Luciano Orquera, who replaced Gower for the games against Australia and Fiji, is likely to be his long-term stand-in.
