The rapid PROD2 star targeted by Toulouse who is set to make his test debut for Italy

Italy head coach Kieran Crowley has named his match day 23 to face Scotland in the penultimate round of the Six Nations on Saturday (k/o 2:15 UK).

Included in Crowley's team is Grenoble star Ange Capuozzo, who is set to make his test debut off the bench.

A rapid speedster who can play fullback and wing, Capuozzo is the latest PROD2 player to make his test debut, following the likes of France's Demba Bamba and Melvyn Jaminet.

In his 13 games for Grenoble this season, the 22-year-old has gained 858 running metres from his 111 carries, making six line breaks, breaking through 26 tackles, and scoring four tries. 

The fleet-footed outside back's performance has drawn the interest of TOP14 giants Toulouse.


According to reports, Toulouse is close to finalizing a deal with the former Italy u20s star ahead of next season.



Capuozzo was born in Grenoble but qualified for Italy through his Italian parents. He came through the ranks at Grenoble and started as a scrumhalf before moving further into the backs.
