TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - Italy fullback Ange Capuozzo has returned from a head injury in Gonzalo Quesada's side named on Thursday for their final Autumn Series test against New Zealand this weekend in Turin where Juan Ignacio Brex will captain the team.

Capuozzo was an early casualty in Italy's 50-18 loss to Argentina this month and forced to miss last weekend's win over Georgia due to the head injury assessment protocols, where he was replaced by Matt Gallagher who drops out of the squad.
