ROME (Reuters) - Italy have named three changes to the starting line-up for their home match against France in the Six Nations on Saturday as coach Conor O’Shea insisted consistency in selection was only the way forward for his team.
Italy rattled England in their last match with frustrating tactics before losing 36-15 at Twickenham on Feb. 26 which was a marked improvement on heavy home defeats to Wales and Ireland at the start of the Championship.
