Italy make two changes for Six Nations encounter against Wales

Italy head coach Conor O'Shea has made two changes to the starting line-up ahead of their upcoming Six Nations clash against Wales to be played in Rome on Saturday.

Italy: Jayden Hayward, Edoardo Padovani, Michele Campagnaro, Luca Morisi, Angelo Esposito, Tommaso Allan, Guglielmo Palazzani, Sergio Parisse (c), Abraham Steyn, Sebastian Negri, Dean Budd, David Sisi, Simone Ferrari, Leonardo Ghiraldini, Nicola Quaglio
