Zebre are ready to face the last challenge of the 2019 Guinness Six Nations window.

After hosting Leinster, the leaders of Conference B, two weeks ago in Viadana, coach Bradley XV will face the second-placed team in Conference A in the third and final fixture against a Scottish side.

Both clubs have seen many of their athletes take the field in the first three rounds of the Six Nations: ten Italians will be capped on Sunday by Italy in Rome while there were as many as 21 Scots who have taken part so far in the training camps of the Highlanders.

There are six changes in the starting line-up of Zebre compared to the last encounter against Ulster.

In particular, three of the Azzurri who played Ireland in the Six Nations last Sunday at the Olympic Stadium in Rome: Lock Sisi, flanker Tuivaiti and Castello: the inside centre returns to wear the number 12 jersey and also takes the captaincy.

In total there are seven Italian internationals included in the 23 that start the game from the first minute: Bisegni, Canna and Fabiani while the scrum-half Palazzani will sit on the bench.

Here’s Zebre Rugby Club line-up for Saturday, March 2 match at Stadio Lanfranchi in Parma (Italy) for the 17th round of the Guinness PRO14 against the Scottish side of the Glasgow Warriors. Kick-off at 6.15 pm local time:
