(Reuters) - Italy have made two changes to their starting XI for Saturday's Six Nations clash against Wales in Cardiff, with coach Kieran Crowley handing fullback Ange Capuozzo his first start and bringing in lock Marco Fuser.

Edoardo Padovani moves to right wing after starting as fullback in the 33-22 defeat by Scotland in Rome last Saturday, while Capuozzo was rewarded with his first start after scoring two tries on his debut off the bench against the Scots.
