Italy will be taking on Australia in the International Friendly on November 12 at Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence). Australia is resting key players against Italy on Saturday, with five tests to ease the rigors of the European Tour and give the hosts a chance to edge past them at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence. The Wallabies have been busy with their Autumn series schedule and last weekend in Paris against Scotland and France he had two tough tests in the first he won by one point and in the second by the same margin. They face leaders Ireland and Wales later this month, and manager Dave Rennie made a big change in defense, resting most of his key strikers ahead of Saturday’s clash with Italy. He named front row Alan Araratoa as captain and named himself a possible successor to Michael Hooper and James Slipper, Renee said at a press conference on Thursday, “He certainly shows his attention to detail and his work.
“He’s obviously the captain of the Brumbies, and I chose him for that reason. He is our best option and who knows what will happen in the long run, but in the long run, he can certainly overtake Australia. Everyone knows he’s a great guy.”
