Exiles Danilo Fischetti and Luca Morisi have been included in Kieran Crowley's final match day squad of the 2023 Guinness Six Nations Championship, when the Azzurri encounter Scotland this Saturday.

Fischetti will make a fifth successive start for Italy across the 2023 edition of the competition, Morisi also in line to make a fifth appearance this tournament from the replacements bench.

It will be the prop's 30th cap for his country, having made his debut in the 2020 Six Nations away to Wales.

Italy are searching for a first win of the Championship and are currently rooted at the foot of the table, having taken a losing bonus point in a 29-24 reverse to open the tournament at home to France.

The match takes place this Saturday (18th) at BT Murrayfield, kicking-off at 12:30pm and will be televised live on BBC One.
