Exeter Chiefs star Michele Campagnaro will again start for Italy, who show three changes to their starting XV for their latest Test match against Australia in Brisbane tomorrow (3pm).

The talented centre will be hoping to play his part as the Azzurri look to end their summer campaign on a high note following defeats to Scotland and Fiji.

Tito Tebaldi replaces Marcello Violi in the scrum-half position while Giovambattista Venditti takes his position on the left wing in place of Leonardo Sarto.

Abraham Steyn drops to the bench with fellow South African-born Andries van Schalkwyk wearing the number eight jersey.

Flank Francesco Minto will captain the side for the second time in his career. Meanwhile, Marco Lazzaroni could make his debut off the bench.

Italy: 15 Edoardo Padovani, 14 Angelo Esposito, 13 Michele Campagnaro, 12 Tommaso Boni, 11 Giovambattista Venditti, 10 Tommaso Allan, 9 Tito Tebaldi, 8 Andries van Schalkwyk, 7 Maxime Mbanda, 6 Francesco Minto (c), 5 Dean Budd, 4 Marco Fuser, 3 Simone Ferrari, 2 Luca Bigi, 1 Andrea Lovotti

Replacements: 16 Ornel Gega, 17 Federico Zani, 18 Pietro Ceccarelli, 19 Marco Lazzaroni, 20 Abraham Steyn, 21 Edoardo Gori, 22 Carlo Cane, 23 Tommaso Benvenuti
