 Scotsman.com Sport - Rugby - Berbizier finds Azzurri soul - but they still have a wooden heart   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Italian rugby is at a crossroads, and faces much soul-searching.
Impeding decisions include whether to reform the current Super 10 into four regional teams, whether to bring back their star players from France, England and elsewhere, whether to severely limit the influx of foreign players in the domestic leagues, whether to initiate a system of national rugby academies.
Berbizier has instilled a new sense of confidence in Italian rugby, especially after famously defeating the Pumas in Cordoba during the summer, and one thing is for sure - to beat the Azzurri, particularly in Rome, Scotland will need to bring their best game.
