Italy are three months per man older than Tonga. Italy have a one cm per man height advantage in the line out and a three kg per man weight advantage in the scrum. Italy’s tallest man is second row forward ALFIO LUCA MAMMANA, who stands at 197 cm (6ft 5ins) and is exactly the same height as Tonga’s tallest player, prop SAMIU TALIA’ULI.
The heavyweight division
• •
The combined weight of the Italy pack is 835 kg, which gives them a 30 kg advantage over Tonga in the scrum. Italy have the heaviest man on the pitch in loosehead prop NICOLA QUAGLIO, who weighs in at 119 kg (18st 10lb). He will have a two kg advantage over his direct opponent in the scrum, ELISI PULU, who is Tonga’s heaviest player.
History
•
This will be the first time that Italy and Tonga have met in the IRB Junior World Championships.
Experience
• •
Three of Italy’s starting line up appeared in last year’s victorious IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy squad; prop PIERMARIA LESO, scrum half GUGLIELMO PALAZZANI and centre GIOVANNI ALBERGHINI. Tonga have two players who took part in last year’s Championship; flanker OFA FINAU and fly half OTULEA KATOA, who scored a try against Samoa in 2010.
Sole man
•
MICHELE VISENTIN has scored both Italy’s tries in this tournament, against New Zealand and Argentina.
Tonga tries
•
Three players in Tonga’s starting line up have scored tries in this year’s Championship; MATHEW HOWLING against Australia and Fiji, PITA AHKI scored against France and LONI TOUMOHUNI scored against Scotland.
Young talent
•
Italy’s fly half MICHELE CAMPAGNARO is the second youngest player in the tournament at 18 years and three months and is just three days older than England’s fly half, GEORGE FORD.
The man in the middle
•
GREG GARNER of England takes charge of this match, his fourth in IRB Junior World Championship competition, having officiated in New Zealand’s 92-0 win over Wales, Ireland’s 30-13 win over Scotland and New Zealand’s 37-7 win over Australia earlier in the tournament. He only issued one yellow card in those three matches.
