Mirco Bergamasco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mirco Bergamasco (born 23 February 1983) is an Italian rugby union footballer. He primarily plays centre, presently with Stade Français, one of the most important teams in the French Top 14, and internationally with Italy.
Born in Padua, Bergamasco is the son of Arturo and the younger brother of Mauro Bergamasco, both Italian internationals. He made his international debut against France in the 2002 Six Nations, having previously appeared against an All-Star XV in a non-cap international.
He established himself as a regular in the Azzurri side under John Kirwan, but suffered a jaw injury during the 2003 World Cup in Australia, and was forced to miss all but two of Italy's games — spoiling a great year which had seen him score three tries in the Six Nations. He is now playing alongside his brother for both club and country, having joined French Stade Français in 2004.
He switched to inside centre from the back three and was considered one of the stars of the 2006 Six Nations championship, scoring three tries in five matches.
