No Sergio Parisse as Italy name team for Six Nations clash with Scotland
Italy's legendary No 8 Sergio Parisse will save his Six Nations farewell for the home match against England after not being included in the squad for Scotland's visit to Rome on Saturday.
Former Scotland Under-20s stand-off Tomasso Allan will make his 57th appearance for the Azzurri and will be looking to add to add more points against his former homeland. He has scored 43 out of his 97 Six Nations total against the men in dark blue.
