Sergio Parisse Not Joining Summer Tour

This summer Sergio Parisse will not play opposite to Fiji, Australia and Scotland.


Along with Parisse, Leonardo Ghiraldini, Lorenzo Cittadini and Simone Favaro can also be given the rest

The motive behind this is, Conor O’Shea wants to give some rests with these veteran players

In his squad, O’Shea named four uncapped players. He announced that he is leaving Captain Sergio Parisse out from the squad of 31-man for this summer tour of the year against Fiji, Scotland and Australia.

The coach said, “I wanted to give time to Parisse and three top players of the team the hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini, prop Lorenzo Cittadini and flanker Simone Favaro.

Beaumont has knowledge about rugby and business beyond imagination and this is definitely going to be a benefit for the board. The duo is well acquainted with the international sporting and political landscapes surrounding it.

In addition to his passion for and commitment to the Game he is also heavily involved in charity work as Vice President of the Lancashire Association of Youth Clubs, Honorary President of the Rugby charity Wooden Spoon and with SPARKS and The Lord’s Taverners.

On the other hands, Paul Deighton was the Chief Executive Officer of LOCOG during London Olympics 2012. Using that experience he is going to be with Bill and get the best out of the Board and set an example for others and subsequent managers to follow.

Andy Cosslett, England Rugby 2015 Chairman has pledged to make the England Rugby World Cup 2015 strong and appealing to reach out to more and more people and spread the word about the sport. He said, “To do this we need to call on the talents and experience of people drawn from both inside and outside the world of rugby. I am delighted to welcome Bill and Paul to the Board.”
