Italrugby, Gonzalo Quesada presents the busy month of November

Soì the coach of the Italian national rugby team Gonzalo Quesada at the presentation in Milan of the November test-matches, which will open on Nov. 9 with the Pumas in Udine: "A fascinating November awaits us, with three giant challenges. Argentina comes from the best Championship in its history, the All Blacks are the All Blacks and with Georgia it will be a huge battle, like two years ago in Batumi. We are looking at a new opportunity to grow, to develop the path we have been on since the beginning of the year with the Six Nations".

The Azzurri will then face Georgia on Sunday, November 17 in Genoa, and New Zealand on Saturday, November 23 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. "From Sunday we will be gathering in Rome to start preparing with a roster of players who deserved the summons – continued the coach – We will have no more than four training sessions before the debut with Argentina and every phase of preparation will be capital to arrive at our best. It will be a challenging November and I look forward to the start of this new phase of our journey".

"For me and for the Federal Council installed last September 15 è a great thrill to be able to accompany the National Team in this international November,” said Federugby President Andrea Duodo. “We are not the captains or coaches of this team, let Gonzalo and the Azzurri he has chosen for these matches work at their best. We will find on our way two very high-profile opponents and a Georgia with which I am sure Michele and his teammates will want to make people forget the night of two summers ago in Batumi", he concluded.

The three matches-named Vittoria Assicurazioni Autumn Nations Series 2024, after the name of the main sponsor of the Fir senior national teams-will all be broadcast live free-to-air on TV8 or Cielo and Sky Sports and in streaming on NOW.
