The Italy rugby team has suffered a major setback ahead of the first June Test Series against the Vodafone Flying Fijians after captain Sergio Parisse and veteran prop Castro Giovanni have been ruled out because of injury.

Italy has also named an experienced squad to take on Fiji with only three debutants in the team.

Fiji born Italy number eight Manoa Vosawai is also expected to make the starting lineup for Italy to take on his fellow countrymen.

Meanwhile, the Vodafone Flying Fijians will march into camp today.

The Vodafone Flying Fijians will take on Italy next Saturday at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.
