ANDREA MASI

Born: 30.03.81
Height: 6ft 1in
Weight: 14st 7lb
Position: Full-back/Centre
Club: Viadana
Caps: 6
Points: 5

Having made a try-scoring international debut at the age of 18 in front of his home-town fans, you would think Masi's international career has been something of a dream.

Yet after that initial burst, the Viadana man, now 22, had to endure a four-year absence from the Test squad.

Able to play in either centre position or at full-back, his versatility is a major plus and his performances on the recent tour of New Zealand showed much promise.
