Italy team news
Gonzalo Quesada has made ten changes to his injury-hit side since the 57-10 defeat by Australia in July. Captain Michele Lamaro, centres Tommaso Menoncello and Juan Ignacio Brex, Sebastian Negri and Louis Lynagh are all unavailable. Samuele Locatelli, a 25-year-old flanker, is among the replacements and is set to make his debut. Ange Capuozzo starts on the wing. Italy did beat England in 2026, but they face a severe test against the world champions.
South Africa team news
Rassie Erasmus has lost several starters to injury, including Cheslin Kolbe, Andre Esterhuizen, Eben Etzebeth and Handre Pollard. Ethan Hooker comes in for Kolbe, joining Kurt-Lee Arendse and Damian Willemse in the back three. Erasmus has opted for a 6-2 split on the bench, so the two-time defending world champions will not field their usual Bomb Squad. Ox Nche starts in the front row, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu wears the No.10 shirt.
Head-to-head
Italy and South Africa have met 19 times previously, with the Azzurri winning once and the Springboks 18. In Italy, the record stands at 1-8, with Italy’s only victory coming in November 2016.
