Pierre Bruno (

Italian pronunciation: [ˈbruːno]; born 28 June 1996) is an Italian professional rugby union player who primarily plays wing for Zebre Parma of the United Rugby Championship.[1][2]

Professional career

Bruno has previously played for clubs such as Mogliano and Calvisano in the past. For 2017–18 Pro14 season, he named as Additional Player for Zebre.[3]

In 2015 and 2016, Bruno was named in the Italy Under 20 squad and in 2017 and 2018 he was named in the Emerging Italy squad.[4][5][6] On 8 November 2021 he was named in the Italy A squad for the 2021 end-of-year rugby union internationals.[7]

On the 31 October 2021, he was selected by Kieran Crowley to be part of an Italy 34-man squad for the 2021 end-of-year rugby union internationals. He made his debut for Italy on 20 November 2021 against Uruguay, scoring a try in Italy's 17-10 win.[8][9][10]

Kieran Crowley selected Pierre Bruno also for the 2022 Six Nations Championship, but his debut in the tournament[11] against Ireland was unfortunate, as he had to be replaced after only 20 minutes due to a controversial refereeing decision.[12] Bruno was also in the Italian starting team that faced Scotland in Rome. The match ended in another defeat for Italy (22-33), but with signs of improvement.[13]

Bruno had the opportunity to make up for it in November 2022 Autumn internationals, when he scored two tries in the sparkling victory of Italy over Samoa (49-17),[14] and another try against Australia, a first ever win for the Italian team facing the Wallabies (28-27).[15]
