Italy have included 18 uncapped players in the 38-man training squad which will meet at the end of November.

Italy head coach Jacques Brunel, whose contract expires in 2016, was not able to include any players based outside of Italy so there is an inexperienced feel to the group which will meet in Treviso on November 23. The meeting kick-starts their preparations for next year's Six Nations which starts for Italy on February 6 against France.
