Italy News
Italy coach Kieran Crowley, looking for more height in his second row to counter New Zealand's lateral lineout threat, brings in Dino Lamb in place of Niccolo Cannone in a forward pack unchanged since the win over Uruguay. Stephen Varney is selected at scrum-half, while the defense is reshaped elsewhere - playmakers Paolo Garbisi and Tommaso Allan retain their places but take up new roles at ten and 15 respectively.
Lorenzo Pani drops out of the 23 entirely, while Luca Morisi returns as center. Crowley opts for a bench split of six strikers to two defenders.
Capitain Sam Cane
Regular captain Sam Cane is also just a replacement as he continues to recover from injury, with Dalton Papali'i and captain Ardie Savea joining Frizell in the back row. Tyrel Lomax is also on the verge of recovery after suffering a cut leg during the friendly defeat to South Africa in August.
New Zealand News
Ian Foster can count on Shannon Frizell and Jordie Barrett being fit again as he returns to the New Zealand starting line-up. Sam Whitelock is on the verge of becoming the All Black with the most caps of all time, but must settle for a place on the bench with Brodie Retallick and Scott Barrett paired in the second row.
New Zealand
New Zealand bounced back from their opening night defeat to France by beating Namibia and are boosted by the return of several key players for this game.
But they will have to be cautious in an encounter with an Italian team full of potential and believing they can secure a historic victory.
Italy
Italy are looking for a big shock as they try to deny New Zealand a place in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup.
Kieran Crowley's side have secured back-to-back wins over Namibia and Uruguay, but know they face an even tougher challenge against the All Blacks.

The game
Style and Scoring
There are 15 players on each side, with seven substitutions, but two reserved for the pillars and Hooker. Remember, to pass the ball, it must be kicked backwards, but the kicker's teammates must be behind the ball at the time of the kick.
There are four ways of scoring in rugby:
- Try (five points): the athlete must reach the in-goal zone mark with possession of the ball and touch down, touchdown style.
- Conversion (two points): a direct kick from anywhere on a line parallel to the sidelines and perpendiculars.
- Drop-goal (three points): ball must touch the ground before being kicked
- Penalty (three points): shot on goal

200 years
Rugby celebrates its 200th anniversary at the World Cup. The sport was born in England in 1823, when William Webb Ellis picked up the ball at a soccer match and ran with it in his hands, breaking the rules of the game.
Rugby World Cup
Organized every four years since 1987, the 2023 Rugby World Cup will be held in France, which previously hosted the tournament in 2007, alongside Wales and Scotland. Despite having two disciplines with 15 and seven players, the World Cup will be played with 15 athletes, with two 40-minute halves. The group stage, which includes 20 teams, runs from September 8 to October 8.
The third and fourth place play-offs are scheduled for Friday (October 27), while the final will take place on Saturday, October 28. The winning team will lift the Webb Ellis Cup. It is named after former Rugby School pupil William Webb Ellis.
South Africa (Springboks) and New Zealand (All Blacks) have three titles each, while Australia (Wallabies) have two. England are the only world champions from the Northern Hemisphere. South America, meanwhile, has already made history and will have three representatives for the first time: Argentina (Pumas), Uruguay (Teros) and Chile (Condores).
