I cannot profess to know much about Treviso but they seem to be taking it seriously. Most of the players were in the previous HC match at Vicarage Road.

Their more well known names like Alessandro Zanni and Leonardo Ghiraldini start.

The following were picked for the Italy squad: Ghiraldini,Citizens,Pavanello,Van Zyl,Zanni,Barbieri,Burton,Semenzato,

Strong Saracens team. Despite being away should have too much class and power. Very strong front five. Nice to see Nieto start.

Need to see Stringer using his zippy pass and not doing aimless box kicks.


Thoughts?

as long as we get the 1 point we need i dont care
