What channel is Italy v Romania Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Italy v Romania in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Italy have been dealt a blow since their last outing against Ireland: Centre Tommaso Menoncello has been ruled out of the World Cup with a bicep injury he sustained in the warm-up match in Dublin.
Yet while the team are having to deal with an injury setback, they have also seen the return of one of their biggest stars: Ange Capuozzo will play in his first match in six months when Italy take on Romania on Saturday. He is back from the shoulder injury he picked up during the Six Nations.
Italy also have brothers making up the half-back pairing with Paolo and Alessandro Garbisi lining up at fly-half and scrum-half respectively.
Italy have so far lost to Scotland and Ireland in their warm-ups and will be searching for a win to generate some momentum.
Their opponents Romania will be searching for the same thing as they have also suffered two defeats in recent matches. They fell to 31-17 and 56-6 losses to the USA and Georgia respectively. It should be a close battle but Italy will head into the match as favourites.
