ROME 1996-12-06 Italy recalled Marcello Cuttitta on Friday for their friendly against Scotland at Murrayfield more than a year after the 30-year-old wing announced he was retiring following differences over selection . Cuttitta , who trainer George Coste said was certain to play on Saturday week , was named in a 21-man squad lacking only two of the team beaten 54-21 by England at Twickenham last month . Stefano Bordon is out through illness and Coste said he had dropped back row Corrado Covi , who had been recalled for the England game after five years out of the national team . Cuttitta announced his retirement after the 1995 World Cup , where he took issue with being dropped from the Italy side that faced England in the pool stages . Coste said he had approached the player two months ago about a comeback . " He ended the World Cup on the wrong note , " Coste said . " I thought it would be useful to have him back and he said he would be available . I think now is the right time for him to return .
