Italian fly-half or full-back Tommaso Allan announced this Wednesday on his Instagram account that he was taking a break from his international career, while the Nazionale is currently playing in the Six Nations Tournament. “This decision was not easy to make. It was a very tiring year physically and mentally. Being away from my family for months only made things more difficult, says the Perpignan player. The decision was made for my well-being and that of the team. Thank you as always for your continued support. Forza Italia.
A decision confirmed by the Transalpine Federation in a press release: “The Italian coach (Gonzalo Quesada), after a discussion with the player after the match in Dublin, decided by mutual agreement with him not to select Tommaso Allan for the third day of the Tournament. The Perpignan midfielder has asked to observe a period of rest from his international activity.
