Italy flyhalf Diego Dominguez and scrum-half Alessandro Troncon today returned to the Italian rugby squad for the Six Nations Championship match with France at Rome's Stadio Flaminio on March 3.
Dominguez missed the opening defeats by Ireland (41-22) and England (80-23) through injury while Troncon was suspended for the defeat by England at Twickenham after being sent off against Ireland for punching opposite number Peter Stringer.
The players will meet at the Tirrenia training camp on February 26 and go to Rome on March 2nd, the day before the game with France.
Prop Andrea Muraro misses out through injury (left knee) while 35-year-old veteran Franco Properzi Curti returns.
