After the effort displayed against Scarlets last week, the coaching staff continue to give confidence to the group of players who continued to work during the pause for International test-matches. With Perugini and Geldenhuys committed with the Barbarians and Del Fava out for three weeks after the injury suffered against Fiji, the only Azzurri to return for this Irish trip are Canavosio and Bocchino. Both will start from the bench, with Tebaldi and Marshall confirmed as starters in the midfield.
