(Reuters) - Fullback Ange Capuozzo and number 8 Lorenzo Cannone have both been ruled out of Italy's match against Georgia this weekend, the Italian Rugby Federation said on Thursday.

Capuozzo was forced off after six minutes of Saturday's 50-18 defeat to Argentina with a head injury, and while the player has no problems from a clinical point of view, he must complete the head injury assessment protocols.
