Quesada had rested him
Toulouse, which topped the regular season of the championship, will miss him in the crucial phase of the Top 14, starting with the semifinal against either Bayonne or Clermont. Regarding the national team, Capuozzo had already been excluded from the call-ups by Italy’s head coach, Gonzalo Quesada, for the upcoming summer tour in Namibia and South Africa, along with other players whom the coach decided to give a break after a very long season. Given the circumstances, he will also have to forgo the autumn test matches where the national team will face Australia, South Africa, and Tonga.
