Francis Moore will make his U20 Six Nations debut on the left wing, while Matty Jones (scrum-half) and Jamie Benson (fly-half) come into the starting line-up for this week.

There are six changes among the replacements with Finn Theobald-Thomas, Mark Dormer, Will Hobson, Sam Edwards, Louie Johnson and Ollie Dawkins on the bench.

"The players were pleased with the performance against Scotland, particularly their ability to take control of the second half," said head coach Alan Dickens.

"We’ve have had another good week training and seen some new faces in camp. The level of competition within the squad is something I have been really impressed with."

"Italy will be a strong team on home soil, but the boys are looking forward to our second away trip and getting back onto the pitch in Treviso and improving on last week’s performance."
