TURIN, Italy (Reuters) -Italy prop Marco Riccioni has replaced Simone Ferrari as head coach Gonzalo Quesada unsurprisingly named a largely unchanged side for Saturday's Autumn International against South Africa in Turin after last weekend's win over Australia.

Ferrari drops to the bench as Quesada sticks with a winning team following the 26-19 comeback victory against Australia last Saturday in Udine, as Italy go in search of their second-ever win over the Springboks.
