Lock Alessandro Zanni will return to the Italy side for this weekend's Six Nations match against Scotland at the Stadio Olimpico in the only change from the team who started the last game against France

21 February 2020

Italy, who have lost their first two matches, will be hoping to end a 24-game winless run in the competition stretching back four years.

Zanni, who pulled out of the France match shortly before kick-off due to injury, will win his 119th cap, drawing level with former prop Martin Castrogiovanni in second on the all-time list for Italy, behind Sergio Parisse.
