Benetton Rugby team news vs Ulster Rugby
After a two week break, the Guinness PRO14 restarts. Today Benetton Rugby will leave for Belfast where on Friday night at 19.05 local time (20.05 Italian) at the Kingspan Stadium Benetton will face Ulster Rugby. Coach Crowley, due to the commitments of the Italian national Team on Saturday, will have to do without the whites and greens Lions involved. During the week, however, the technical staff has had the opportunity to work with several permit players from the Veneto teams of Eccellenza and Fiamme Oro, who performed well. Among them, for tomorrow, were selected: Giuseppe Di Stefano, prop from the XV of Polizia di Stato, and Luca Crosato, from San Donà.
Full back will be Luca Sperandio, on the wings Tommaso Benvenuti and Andrea Bronzini. Ignacio Brex and captain Alberto Sgarbi will be respectively right and left centre.
The half backs are Giorgio Bronzini at scrum half and Tommaso Allan at fly-half.
The front row will consist of Cherif Traore, Tomas Baravalle and Giuseppe Di Stefano.
Locks will be Alessandro Zanni and Irné Herbst. Finally, the back row sees Whetu Douglas, Nasi Manu and Robert Barbieri completing the XV chosen by Crowley.
Finally, there will be several notable replacements: the presence of a new player Hame Faiva, Federico Ruzza released by the Italian national team and flanker Marco Barbini, fly-half Marty Banks and centre Luca Morisi returning from their respective injuries.
