Coach Kieran Crowley has officially announced the line-up for the Italian men’s rugby team ahead of their showdown with Ireland on Saturday at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

Odogwu will finally make his debut this weekend.

The speedster, who was part of England’s 2021 Six Nations squad, has named Benetton as his new club following the conclusion of his short-term deal with Stade Francais. 

The 26-year-old Coventry-born wing, who is of Nigerian and Italian descent, had been capped by England at age-grade level.
