Notes
  1. There are different spellings of Bianchi's name in use. Zebre rugby lists the spelling of his first name as Iacopo,[1] which is also used by the Pro14 in their news sources, but several other website lists his name as Jacopo Bianchi. Both variants yield several search results from reliable sources.[2][3] The player hasn't publicly commented on his preferred name spelling.
