McLean in for Italy against England
McLean, who came on as a replacement after 56 minutes in the 21-23 loss to France in Paris last weekend, will replace David Odiete, who is nursing an ankle injury.
The 28-year-old Australian-born McLean is one of the most experienced players in the Italy squad with 76 caps.
