Italy coach Gonzalo Quesada has called up Zebre captain Giovanni Licata to his squad for Sunday's Six Nations match against France in Lille after uncapped 20-year-old talent Francois Mey had to pull out.
    Clermont's Mey plays centre but rather than calling up another back, Quesada decided to draft in an extra flanker in Licata, who has 13 caps.
    The Italian rugby federation did not specify what sort of injury had forced Mey to pull out. The Azzurri are also without Sebastian Negri, Lorenzo Cannone, Edoardo Iachizzi and Pietro Ceccarelli due to injuries, while veteran fullback/flyhalf Tommaso Allan has decided to take a break from the national team for family reasons. "This was not an easy decision," Allan said via social media.
    "It has been a very tough year, both physically and mentally.
    "Being away from my family month after month has only made everything even harder.
    "The decision was made for my well-being and that of the team.
    "Thank you as always for your continued support. Forza Italia".
    Italy are bottom of the Six Nations table with one point from two games after losing 27-24 to England in Rome and 36-0 to Ireland in Dublin.
