Italy captain Marco Bortolami has been ruled out of Saturday’s winner-takes-all Pool C clash with Scotland in St Etienne because of injury.
The Gloucester lock has not trained this week because of hamstring and neck problems, and he has failed to recover in time to make coach Pierre Berbizier’s line-up.

Andrea Lo Cicero, Leonardo Ghiraldini and Manoa Vosawai are the players to miss out.
