In Treviso the Benettons instead he surpassed the Parisians of the Stade Francais (35-32) in the Challenge Cup, taking the sixth consecutive success at international level.

Ambitious and concrete Azzurri, ten goals for the Romanians

The physicality of the opponents, some uncertainty in the first 10 minutes: Romania took the lead with a free-kick from Popopaia, but then it was an Azzurri monologue. Troncon’s boys finished the first half ahead 26 to 3 thanks to tries from Bruno, Drago, Albanese and Di Bartolomeo; in the second half they gave their opponents a run of 38 to nil, scoring again with Albanian scrum-half, then captain Pettinelli, Izekor, Iachizzi, Moscardi and Fusco. All too easy? Quite. But it’s also fair to say that Italy showed clear ideas, technique and a concentration that always guaranteed the right pace of play. Well Da Re, who in a delicate role like that of the opening is predicated of giving an alternative to Allan (in the absence of Paolo Garbisi); Bruno on the wing confirmed the progress of the last few seasons, Pettinelli proved to be solid and Zambonin effective, Minozzi always electric but also guys with Vintcent, Ruggeri and Montemauri impressed.

Treviso to the sixth consecutive success

In Monigo it was a festival of emotions and goals: 4 goals to 5 for the French, but the victory went to the Venetians. Deservedly: they handled a good part of the meeting. With this success, Treviso qualifies for the quarter-finals of the European cup and will have the opportunity to play the next – decisive – match in Treviso. Immediately ahead with a brace from Bellini, the green-and-whites let themselves be caught up: Smith brought them back up front, but the start of the second half was all for the guests. After an hour of play, Menoncello overturned the result for his side, who thanks to the foot of Smith and Albornoz further extended, making the final try of the Parisians useless.
