The Late Mail: Italy v USA

Italy Men v United States Men

An unpredictable afternoon awaits in North Queensland

Italy have shifted their side around a bit. Terry Campese is ruled out again, with Tedesco moving to five-eighth, Cerruto to fullback, and Centrone coming off the bench to start on the wing. Additionally, Riethmuller is benched in favour of Walker who starts in the second row, while Christophe Calegri joins the interchange for Centrone.

The USA have similarly changed their lineup. Jonathan Alley (centre) and Nicholas Newlin (lock) drop out. Joshua Rice starts in the backline while Gabriel Farley comes in at lock. Charles Cortalano and David Ulch join the interchange.
