PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
SALUDO DEL PRESIDENTE
Along with the Summer Tour in South Africa and Argentina,
the track record of Nick Mallett goes on as the leader of the
Italian National Team, featuring the success in the Six
Nations by winning against Scotland and the excellent performances which, during the tournament, have proved the
constant growth of our Italian team.
It has been a year that witnessed the brave choice, made
by our South African head coach, to pave the way to a band
of young new entries who did not betray the expectations.
In occasion of this event Mallett, facing an unlucky chain
of injured players, displayed a list that includes interesting
novelties, rightful confirms and happy comebacks.
La temporada de Nick Mallett, entrenador de la selecciòn italiana, continua con la gira
de verano en Sur Africa y Argentina. El éxito contra Escocia y el excelente nivel de juego
durante el torneo “6 Naciones” han demonstrado el continuo crecimiento del equipo.
Durante este el año el entrenador surafricano ha demonstrado su capacidad para escoger
con coraje. De este modo ha abierto las puertas de la selecciòn a excelentes jòvenes jugadores que, finalmente, cumplieron expectativas.
Por esta razón, Mallett, a pesar de tener que enfrentarse con numerosas lesiones de sus
jugadores, terminó construyendo un equipo con interesantes novedades, confirmaciones y
apreciados regresos. Durante esta aventura , Mallett, a pesar de haber tenido que enfrentarse con las numerosas lesiones de sus jugadores, ha terminado construyendo un equipo plagado de interesantes novedades, confirmaciones y apreciados regresos.
El camino de Italia hacia el éxito no serà facil, estarà lleno de trampas.
En el debut en Ciudad del Cabo el equipo italiano se enfrenterà a los Springboks, actuales campeones del mundo. Despuès, en la bella Cordoba, donde hace tres anos se celebrò la
historica victoria contra los Pumas, el programa tiene previsto el desafìo contra Argentina,
tercera en la sexta ediciòn de la Copa el Mundo y verdadera revelaciòn del torneo.
The calendar that awaits Italy is, definitely, uphill and full of pitfalls. In matter of fact,
the debut that our National Team shall have to face in Cape Town is none other than
against the Springboks, champions of the world, while in the bonny city of Cordoba, a
city that arouses the historical victory of three years ago against the Pumas, the schedule expects us to challenge Argentina, classified third and true revelation of the sixth
edition of this worldwide tournament.
Precisamente lidiando con las claras dificultades que esta ardua gira presenta, será donde
deberán emerger dos cualidades esenciales para el equipo: su la mentalidad y su carácter.
Estos dos importantes enfrentamientos pondràn a prueba a Italia y daràn a Mallett la posibilidad de tomar decisiones de cara al futuro.
However it is facing the objective difficulties of this demanding tournament that a team
shows its personality and to stand out its strong outlook. Two challenging tests which
will try out the National Italian Team, but that at the same time shall allow Mallett to
draw useful indications concerning the future of the team.
Two weeks of profitable experience that will enable them to put on trial new power
and new elements, and to which will be offered the precious opportunity to demonstrate that they deserve it.
Seràn dos semanas de experiencia provechosa que permitirà probar nuevos valores y otros
elementos de cara a la elección de la Selección.
Es por todo esto que la actual selección italiana, un conjunto en constante progreso, sin
nada que perder y libre de toda presión, podrá jugar sin inhibiciones y mostrarse al máximo
de sus posibilidades.
Todos miramos con expectativas esta dificil " gira de verano" y deseamos que esta aventura nos deje ver en el campo un equipo en constante evolución.
Having nothing to loose and being relieved from dangerous psychological pressures,
the Italian Team gives life to a winning and evolving lineup, it has the chance to play
free from any conditioning and to express itself at best.
So welcome to this difficult and forbidding “summer tour”. We hope that such a challenging adventure will grant us to admire a growing National Italian Team. Furthermore
we hope it represents a new step forward towards greater ambitious and beaming goals.
Winning posts worthy of a beloved movement, respected and in continuous expansion.

He graduated at the University of Cape Town in 1977 and won
the selections, in that same year, to play for the Western
Province team before getting back to England, where he attended with extreme success the prestigious Oxford University
representing it both in the rugby and cricket teams.
When he returned in South Africa, he played again – always as
flanker – for the Western Province team, with which he won
four Currie Cups from 1982 to 1985 playing also in the Italian championship, season 1982/83, for the Rugby Rovigo. In 1984 he wore twice the green and gold suite
of the Springboks, the National South African team.
After experiencing for seven years as coach and player in France, he once again got

Entitled Head Coach of the National South African Team in 1997, he led the
Springboks obtaining seventeen victories in a row between August 1997 and
December 1998, a record today still unbeaten.
After ending the adventure with the Springboks with the record of twenty-seven victories in thirty-eight matches, he returned again in Europe where he took the lead
of the Stade Francais guiding it successfully in the most important French
Championship in 2003 and in 2004, and then once again he got back to his birthplace to assume the role of Rugby Director of the Western Province. He held this charge until the appointment as Head Coach of the National Italian Rugby Team. At his
first experience in the 6 Nations with the Italian Team, entrustung the role of
Captain to Sergio Parisse, he grazed a memorable victory against England and led
the Italian Team successfully beating Scotland the last round of the Tournament.
