Benetton becomes a tornado that wipes out the Stormers

TREVISO

The comeback bears a young signature, that of Menoncello, country child.

It is he who dives to score the overtaking goal when there are 8 minutes left; and he is still the one to lock the victory by “sawing” the desperate but far from unrealistic South African counterattack from the 22 when he was trying to explore the internal gap.

It is a team success, never like yesterday for all 23 of the race list. The finishers, entered from the bench, marked the match with a 15-0 run in the intense second half. The second scrum head Zani Nicotera and Nemer took two push kicks, he always put in a hurry and work on the sides of the South Africans. From Ruzza and Cannone junior, grit, flashes and substance. Braley is doing well too. More generally, it is significant to see Chaparro and Coetzee, alpha and omega of the XV, take confidence. And Albornoz take on responsibilities and initiatives at the most delicate moment. Germs of the future, like the 40 years of the centers that are closing.

The Lions starters had created and dominated, but had stumbled upon an impressive series of held (5) and turnover under the opposing goalposts to make Bortolami pale. Yes, the very fiscal referee Murphy used his, little assisted by the helpers, but what about the frenzy that the Lions take as they see the fateful white line approaching? Zero patience, like clarity.

Put yourself in the shoes of coach “deb” – and also in those of Gustard and Masi, the new faces: they see the team dominate the field, for 35 minutes between 10 and 22. In vain. Immediately replying to the unfortunate goal at the start (lost ball by Zanon, South Africans off the kick of the cynical Gelant and the quickest is Pretorius) with a trocar combination signed by the pack, with a pearl pass from Chaparro to Zuliani who stared at the extreme and launched the sprint inside Lucchesi, 40 meters worthy of a center.

But after that overtaking, not even a point. A pole by Albornoz, a great desire, many flames. The most beautiful is Zuliani’s devastating 40 meters break – his impressive growth – uncovering three opponents, but Ioane saw his grubber towards the goal.

Worse: Treviso, ball in hand, had also given the two kicks with which the Stormers – very dangerous the two wings arrows, Ross’s rides and Gelant’s gusts – had finally hoisted themselves on 7-11 at rest.

Crazy, in fact he had done all of Treviso, more for bad than for good. Not even the time to curse, which the Lions had to first save with Ioane on Gelant’s malignant razor, and succumb to the next melee at 5, when Pretorius absorbed Riera and served on the tray the oval to Nel under the poles: 7-18 .

Off to the relays, but Zuliani came out carried on his shoulders (crutches in the end, let’s hope it’s just a muscle problem). Treviso was anchored to lock and touche (6 stolen at the end), to the breath of Favretto. And to the penaltouche maul with Nemer breakthrough: Leoni at -4: 14-18.

There were 20 minutes to go. Unruly stormers, three high tackles. Albornoz brought Benetton back in the slipstream (17-18), but he missed the overtaking penalty from 45 meters (lateral), on a free kick taken from the front line. And then, the assault of the pack, finally patient, produced the convenient supernumerary in Menoncello, freed by Coetzee.

Rejoicing, after – finally – the lucid management of the advantage in the last 2 ‘. The “five” of the dg Pavanello in Bortolami, very excited, says it all. Another South African scalp, which weighs. Were the Springboks missing? Treviso also still has a XV in the infirmary.

The collective enterprise, the essence of rugby, remains in a real battle, physically very hard. South African rugby doesn’t discount, ask the Lions. Who starts well … –
