Six Nations: Parisse returns to lead Italy
- 1543
Sergio Parisse returns to the Italy starting line up to lead them against England in one of three changes to the team for round four of the competition.
Parisse missed the defeat to Ireland through injury but is fit to reclaim his place at No.8, while Sebastian Negri is also recovered from illness to join him in the back row.
The only other change sees Luca Bigi gets his first start of the Championship in place of Leonardo Ghiraldini, who drops to the bench having captained the team last time out.
Parisse and Negri’s return sees Jimmy Tuivaiti and Maxime Mbandà drop out of the squad, as Braam Steyn switches from No.8 to openside while Jake Polledri is the only new face on the bench.
