Conor O'Shea has picked an Italy team for Saturday's clash with England that he believes is capable of causing the greatest upset in Guinness Six Nations history.
The Azzurri have lost their last 20 matches in the Championship and have suffered defeat in all 24 previous meetings with England, statistics that have installed them as 60-1 underdogs to prevail this weekend.
O'Shea has made three changes to his starting XV for the Twickenham showdown, headlined by captain Sergio Parisse recovering from concussion to reclaim the No 8 jersey.
