Parisse the key for Italy - Ugo Monye

Although he will be absent for their World Cup opener against France, Italy's Sergio Parisse is key to their chances of pulling off an upset, according to former England and Lions wing Ugo Monye.

Speaking to BT Sport, Monye discusses the Azzuri's talisman and considers whether they can cause an upset after being placed in a pool alongside heavyweights France and Ireland.

They also play Canada and Romania.
