Baresi could return to Italy during the second part of the tournament

Italian third-line center Sergio Baresi did not give in to bid farewell to Nacional. In 2019, due to the hurricane during the World Cup in Japan, and then in 2020 due to the epidemic, the Italian captain was unable to play his last match with the selection. Sergio Baresi, 38, did not abandon this jubilee. And New Zealand coach Kieran Crowley made it clear, on Wednesday, during the official opening of the tournament, that the RC Toulon player can play during this version, certainly during the second part of the tournament.

“We are in constant contact with Sergio, I follow his matches with Toulon and I know that he would like to return if his level allows.. we had Think about calling him up for the November test matches, he made a very good start to the season with Toulon but he broke his hand (End of September)”, explained the technician. And to add:He was able to play again (in Bo on December 4th) But since his club was affected by Covid and he never played again. We agree that he needs to play and we will make another point after the match against England (Scheduled for February 13th and counts for the second day).»
