Under the new leadership of coach Gonzalo Quesada for the 2024 season, Italy Rugby prepares for the Six Nations following a disappointing Rugby World Cup under Kieran Crowley. Despite losses to New Zealand and France, the team is buoyed by promising form, particularly from players like Negri, representing Benetton.
