Luciano Orquera dropped for Italy's Six Nations clash with Wales

Italy fly-half Luciano Orquera has been dropped for this Saturday's match with Wales as punishment for his poor performance in Italy's last game against England.

Italy's South African coach, Nick Mallet, singled out Orquera as the reason for three of England's eight tries. Kris Burton will be reinstated for the game at the Stadio Flaminio while Robert Barbieri and Santiago Dellape also come in for Valerio Bernabo and Carlo Del Fava.

Wales will likely try to play a fast game in the same style of England, leading Mallet to make changes in a desperate bid to improve his team's defensive performance.

Tickets for Italy v Wales are available now, as are tickets for all other Six Nations games.
