Capuozzo back for Italy's November Tests
Ange Capuozzo, Paolo Garbisi and Michele Lamaro make their returns to the Italy squad for three November Tests after missing out on summer action, the Italian rugby federation announced Thursday.
Italy coach Gonzalo Quesada named a 34-man squad that sprang no surprises.
Toulouse back Capuozzo makes his return from a broken fibula sustained in June.
Toulon playmaker Garbisi, who missed the summer tour of South Africa that saw Italy lose twice to the Springboks (42-24 and 45-0), is also back along with Perpignan's Tommaso Allan, Treviso flanker Lamaro and Bordeaux-Begles scrum-half Martin Page-Relo.
There were also call-ups for uncapped 19-year-olds Edoardo Todaro, a centre with Northampton, and Enoch Opoku Gyamfi, a lock currently on Bath's books.
Italy play Australia in Udine on November 8 before taking on world champions South Africa a week later in Turin and finishing up against Chile in Genoa on November 22.
