CARLO FESTUCCIA
Born: 20.06.80
Height: 6ft
Weight: 14st 9lb
Position: Hooker
Club: Gran Parma
Caps: 8
Points: 5
Sure to be a fixture in the Italy squad for many, many years, Festuccia already has eight caps to his name at the age of 23.
Well short of his prime as a hooker, the Gran Parma man made his international debut as recently as February and appears to be winning the battle to be the first-choice No 2.
Crossed for a try on his debut against Wales to show there is more to his game than just the usual traits of a hooker.
