Italy make three changes for Six Nations finale with Wales

Gonzalo Quesada on Thursday made three changes to his Italy team's starting line-up for their Six Nations finale with Wales, a match in which the Azzurri could make history.

Parma prop Muhamed Hasa makes his Six Nations full debut in the front row after Simone Ferrari suffered a neck injury in last weekend's first-ever win over England.

Hasa's club teammate Alessandro Fusco comes in at scrum-half for Alessandro Garbisi, whose brother Paolo retains his place at fly-half, while Federico Ruzza moves into the second row in place of Andrea Zambonin.

Italy face Wales in Cardiff on Saturday with the chance of winning a third match in a single Six Nations for the first time, with an outside chance of claiming a highest-ever finish of third.
