FABIO ONGARO

Born: 23.09.77
Height: 6ft
Weight: 15st 8lb
Position: Hooker
Club: Treviso
Caps: 12
Points: 0

Ongaro's international career has been a frustrating one to date but at the age of 26, there is plenty more to come.

Made his debut against Canada in 2000 but has been forced to play second fiddle to Alessandro Moscardi for much of his time in the Italy squad.

A rugged, combative presence in the front row, the absence of Moscardi from the World Cup party could be to Ongaro's benefit.
