The halves are also Italian with Luciano Orquera alongside Tito Tebaldi.
No changes in the back row and in the second row, while there is a new pair of props, with Fabio Staibano at tight head and Alberto De Marchi at the loose head position, with Fabio Ongaro hooking.
There is a first call for Italian International Mauro Bergamasco, who will make his debut for Aironi from the replacements against his former team Treviso.
There's a long list of injured players that Aironi couldn't consider for this game.
George Biagi suffered a knee injury last week and could be out for a couple of months, while Tyson Keats will miss the derby due to a head injury. With long-term injuries to Nick Williams, Kaine Robertson as well as Paolo Buso recovering from surgeries, there's some good news in that Aironi could call upon Joshua Furno for next week clash in Treviso, and Frans Viljoen.
Aironi will use special shirts for this game with AIBWS Onlus logo on that. The special shirts will be autographed by the players and then sold at the price of 120 euros. All the money raised will go to "Progetto Aironi", where AIBWS Onlus looks to increase the research about Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and help the families of young babies hurt by the disease.
