Who is going to kick for Italy this weekend?

Question

With Bortolussi out injured and Pez not picked who is going to kick for Italy?

Answer 1

Someone who can't kick presumably.

Answer 2

Just a wild guess - one of the Italian rugby squad.

My preference would be their coach - he looks like a nice chap.

Answer 3

I hope who ever does will have left his kicking boots at home.

Answer 4

Realistically who knows?

The starting XXII is below.

We have discussed this on my forum, and we are at a loss. This is bad news for Italy because it means that our defence can offord to give away penalties, because even if they kick for touch, with Bortalami not there, their lineout will suffer.

A Marcato (Treviso); A Sgarbi (Treviso), G Canale (Clermont-Auvergne), Mirco Bergamasco (Stade Francais), E Galon (Overmach Parma); A Masi (Biarritz), S Picone (Treviso); S Perugini (Toulouse), L Ghiraldini (Calvisano), M Castrogiovanni (Leicester), S Dellape’ (Biarritz), CA del Fava (Ulster), J Sole (Viadana), Mauro Bergamasco (Stade Francais), S Parisse (Stade Francais).

Replacements: C Festuccia (Racing-Metro), A lo Cicero (Racing-Metro), M Bortolami (Gloucester), A Zanni (Calvisano), Pietro Travagli (Overmarch Parma), P Buso (Calvisano), E Patrizio (Petrarca Padova).

Answer 5

Doesn't matter, they'll still lose.

Bring back Diego Dominguez, he can do better than any Italian player could.

Answer 6

Wales,  Oh sorry, I thought you asked who was going to kick Italy this weekend.

Answer 7

Elissalde.

Edit:

I thought you meant France...  It doesn't matter who kicks for them italy have been playing horrible.
