At fullback Paolo Buso, who scored a try for Italy A against England Saxons, will make his first start after playing the second half against the Blues, while for the first time in this season, Aironi can start with both Kaine Robertson and Danwel Demas adding speed on the wings. Demas is coming back from a car accident he was involved in last October.
There is also a new pairing in the centre with the Argentinian-born duo of Gabriel Pizarro and Horacio San Martin. For San Martin this will be the first game with the Aironi's shirt.
