Italy boss Conor O’Shea springs surprise with Campagnaro in wing role
Conor O’Shea revealed a surprisingly inexperienced Italian starting XV for tomorrow’s match with Scotland at BT Murrayfield, with the obvious exceptions of Sergio Parisse and Leonardo Ghiraldini, who between them boast 233 international caps.
Parisse, in fact, will surpass Brian O’Driscoll’s record of 65 Six Nations appearances.
The big surprise was that the classy Michele Campagnaro, a centre by trade, is plonked on the left wing, while English import David Sisi starts his first-ever international in the second row when many imagined him more as a breakaway.
