Italy in from the side. Penalty Canada.

Tommaso Allan kicks off.

Time for the anthems.

The players take the field with kick off 5 minutes away.

Italy make four changes to the side that suffered a 22 point defeat to France last week with the Injured Andrea Masi and the benched Michele Campagnaro being replaced by Gonzalo Garcia and Tommaso Benvenuti at centre and props Matias Aguero and Martin Castrogiovanni making way for Michele Rizzo and Lorenzo Cittadini.

Good afternoon and welcome to this Pool D clash with 15th ranked Italy taking on 18th ranked Canada. The Italians will hope they can get some much needed points on the table against a Canadian team that was caught out of their depth against Ireland last week. These sides have met on 7 previous occasions with Italy winning the last four including a meeting at the 2003 World Cup. Italy will fancy themselves as favourites but Canada can be quietly confident as underdogs spurred on by the return of their captain Tyler Ardron.

Italy by 25

I think Canada could cause an upset today

It could end up being a tight game , but i think italy will come out on top with like a 20 point win.
