Bigi, 32 and capped 47 times, did not play in Italy’s first two matches.

He was replaced in the squad on Sunday by twice-capped Zebre teammate Marco Manfredi, 26.

Italy coach Kieran Crowley relied on hookers Giacomo Nicotera and Epalahame Faiva in the wins over Namibia (52-8) and Uruguay (38-17).

The Azzurri are second in Pool A, three points behind France. They play New Zealand on September 29 and France on October 6, both in Lyon.
